» Poem: This Burden
This Burden
written by cryptic_misery

Lost in a subliminal state of mind
Do not place your burden in my hands
And think I will fix your wrong doings
Do not expect me to mend what you broke
Or put back together what you shattered
It is not mine, this burden, but yours alone
Try as you may, you will fail
Because this burden you placed on my shoulders
Is nothing but dead weight
That will fall apart more if you let it
It has no impact on me
So don't even try to bring me down
Do not put your scars to my skin
Do not tell me what I do and do not feel
Just because you cannot see them
My wounds are here permanently
Because of you
Just take your burden and self pity
And leave.
