Burdens - Poem

When a person is struggling with a problem in life, one of the healthiest things he can do is talk about it with someone, be it a friend, parent, or mentor. There is a something so profound and therapeutic about sharing the "Loves and Lemons" - the happiness and struggles - in ones life with a trusted figure whose advice, care and listening ear could be all the person needs to feel like his burden of struggles is being shared and taken off his shoulders.

Earlier this year I wrote a poem about sharing the weight of the burdens of life with a friend or mentor. I've decided to share it here today.

I hope you enjoy it!

Burdens - Poem

When you're weak,
Unable to rise,
When adversity and pressure
Keeps you grounded,
I will carry your burden

When you fall
In the night, so dark,
When you're carrying to much
On your shoulders,
I will carry your burden

We will walk together
Towards our goal
Carrying it together
Towards our goal

When you're afraid,
No numb to move,
When fear runs through your veins

I will carry your burden
