The Weight I Bear...
A fleeting thought in a world serene.
I know I was unhappy, never knew my place,
But it’s harder to know I’m my family’s disgrace.
Their eyes avoid mine, their words turned thin,
As if my presence wears them from within.
A burden I’ve become, too heavy to hold,
A story untold, growing weary and cold.
I try to smile, to brighten the air,
But cracks in my mask show the despair.
Every laugh feels forced, every breath a mistake,
A heart too fragile, bound to break.
They say I’m loved, but I hear the strain,
Their kindness laced with unspoken pain.
I see it in whispers, in glances askew,
In every moment I don’t know what to do.
I wish I could vanish, dissolve in the wind,
Leave behind the guilt, the love I’ve sinned.
But even as I dream of fading away,
A small voice inside begs me to stay.
