I wrote this for someone I love who is struggling to find her happiness in life. It breaks my heart to see someone so young carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders. But I know what that can feel like, and how hard it can be to feel so old when your young. It’s been awhile since I’ve written a poem and I’ve only ever done it for me. But I thought I would share it because that’s what this blog is all about. Sharing, even when I’m not completely comfortable doing it.
That’s the way life flows.
That’s the way life should go.
Can’t all fall on you.
Let them carry their own.
You’ve got your own needs.
Life is better than this.
And you will be fine.
To make you feel whole.
And keep your heart close.
