Silent Burden

Would you take it if one says,
'Everything will be okay'?
Would things turn to be all right,
when you think to have done your best?
If only life would be that plain...

But not everything is fine,
not in your tranquil good times,
not in your own balmy bedroom.
You can pretend to enjoy this life,
in the ways you almost feel heaven.

Still, things can be wrongly said,
and they can be mistakenly seen.
And even worse, this won't be voiced
by those whom you know not,
but by the ones dearest to yourself.

All your arduous days and nights,
might be not good enough for them.
But 'good' isn't much the right word,
since they, too, have their own pains,
and you just don't have any idea,
on how tiring their burdens could be.

Maybe what you drag in your heart,
is not yet one inch of their darkest nights.
So when you think they upset you much,
with the words you may feel harsh,
always remember this one thing:
it's not about you, for God's sake.

It's about us denying our destiny.
It's about us afraid of our soreness.
It's about us not able to be hushed.
Then be strong in your silent burden.
