#burden poems on Hello Poetry

Maunas Mehta Jan 2020

Many have spent all their lives
Looking for The One that thrives
But then it is you that arrives
You supprise us with the way can
Empathise and,
deprive us of the burden
of life.

The Burden of the Empath.

I never have really been able to pin point who I am
I am too much of every important person in my life
Recklessly in love, like my eldest sister
Yet quiet and reserved, as my brother
I carry the same intensity as my father
And the same careless actions of my mother
I am not very understanding to blatant ignorance
But if I share the same ignorance
I understand
I have questioned for many years
Why am I burdened with this
A teacher once told me it is because of the empathy I carry
strapped to my back
I feel its weight often
it is
tiring
and
trying
I wish I could rid it someway
But I fear I am stuck with it

Burden

Pain in my chest
Thoughts in my mind
Burden on my head
Thoughts are sealed can't escape from my mind
Trying to cope
But there is no other scope

Fireplace

All alone,
in the dark
she sought out a flame,
making the world burn
just so she could feel warmth again.

Escape of those unworthy

I give myself up to fill you,
but you’re just a void.
You take all you want,
but cannot be destroyed.
You harbour all my energy,
fill my head with insanity,
...“as if”
I could be your fantasy.

My heart beats frantically,
As I cannot live with this agony.
You choked me down,
to have me around.
Yet I paid with my sanity?

How dare you come back to me,
begging for sweet *****,
just to taste what we could be.

You don’t deserve anybody,
let alone my ******* body,
so go away and leave my heart be.

Breathe

Trust me, I'm not insomniac.
Sleep is gold, but only a layman's dream
The night is the only time I can flee, be free,
Alive.
I can do what I love, not what you want me to.
Can't you just let me
Breathe?

What do you wish? What do you want?
I'm not your genie in a bottle,
I'm tired of playing as your Barbie doll,
I'm telling you– I need space, a place to
Breathe.

Just who are my tears and sweat for?
Who will gain the best at the very end?
A bright future? For whom? For me or...
For you?
Not me, it's not me.
You're choking me, constricting me.
Why don't you let me
Breathe?

I'm tired of others' expectations. I'm suffocating.

and i reflected on who i am

or do i simply let it go
