My shoulders carry the weight, of generations past, the effort of those who struggled, to provide the life I now possess. My hands bear the calluses, of those who labored, to keep my brow free from heaviness. And yet, my feet refuse to move, as I stand motionless, overwhelmed, by the blank page they have set before me, my own struggle amplified, by the silence of my own existence.

The Burden of the Unburdened
My shoulders carry the weight, of generations past, the effort of those who struggled, to provide the life I now possess. My hands bear the calluses, of those who labored, to keep my brow free from heaviness. And yet, my feet refuse to move, as I stand motionless, overwhelmed, by the blank page they have set before me, my own struggle amplified, by the silence of my own existence.
