\"The Burden\"

There is a loneliness in this work a sense of sterility of life and distance from others. It is sad in this regard and feels cleansed of warmth. There is a finality as well and it feels that nothing will improve that this is the end. Well written it calls out but there seems not even an echo. Very nicely done as it reaches to the soul and is a fave

Kailey, thank you for trusting words with something this heavy. This poem doesn’t ask to be fixed…it asks to be seen. I’m glad you wrote it, and I hope you keep reaching for people who can listen and help carry this with you. You’re not a burden, and your staying matters. And...welcome to MPS, my friend! Glad you are here. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
