Quality of Life and The Burden of Being
Jan 3, 2025
Can you imagine the burden lifted?
Does it go anywhere?
Or does it perpetually hover
And the burden persist yet doesn’t impress
But the burden is always there
Today I’m able to get out bed
My limbs go easily numb
My toes feel like they’re being eating alive
But the persistence is not yet debilitating
The quality of life could be worse
The guilt pushes you to let the blessings warm sun on your face
And so the burden doesn’t impress
The body persists
The days work is done
The fruits are harvested and the sugar sweet
The bed is soft
And tomorrow I might still be able to get up
