I do not have a reason to be sad
I do not hunger
or freeze
or burn
so I will put your weight on my shoulders
every day I will carry
the pain
the grief
the mourning
I will become the scapegoat
of your transgressions
before my own
in my mind
I will hunger
I will freeze
I will burn
because the sorrows I already carried
wasn't more than I deserved
