BURDEN OF THOUGHT
There are moments I feel replete with emptiness,
myMymotions frozen, motionless.
Pushed behind the burner—
no warmth, only a cold breeze
from the corner.
The corner between the rainy and dry seasons,
where I am stripped of rational reason.
I am known not to follow the normal crowd,
misunderstood by many
because I took my own route.
To go where only a few souls
dare to reach in time—
a place built with rhythm
and painted with rhyme.
I did not ask for this tormenting gift to write.
It burns inside me, helpless,
day and night.
My apologies to the pen.
My sympathy to the pad.
They suffer a brutal fate,
carrying a gigantic weight—
a weight my mind cannot bear.
This burden afflicts me like a plague.
This burden of thought refuses to leave.
It keeps returning
like withered leaves—
Falling.
Falling..
Falling…
