Lifting the burden

 It all comes down to him

and he is willing to step up.

no longer will he be a boy

he sees the reality

and despite its relentlessness to push him down

he pushes back up.

The pressures of life weighing on him

its not easy to survive in this world.

They don't know what he goes through

the burden, the financial, emotional, spiritual burden.

just to get the very best for him and his family.

They all lean on him

all so heavy

and hes chained to one spot

dreams put aside for a bit.

It is not time to be selfish.

Many do not step up to the challenge

They are full of empty promises

They are selfish

unaware of what a true sacrifice is

deceiving themselves and those around them day after day

that one day they would contribute and lift their burdens.

He isn't

His effort shall not be wasted.

His parents try their hardest

the aunts uncles cousins...

 its in the hard times we find out the extent to family support

and he does all he can to ease their struggle.

its not easy

He had a plan, get the grades, apply to these jobs, its all going to be good....

Life unfortunately had another plan.

a plan of delayed gratification.

what gives him the strength in these times?

all she wants to do is be there for him

she watches him carry a lot on his shoulders and mind

 The worst part is  that it seems he is also carrying his body each day to keep going

her only is wish is that it does not  crumble down 

that is why she holds him, speaks to him, does everything she can

 to lift weight off the heaviest part...

the mind.

our bodies can take a lot

our heart can take a lot..believe me, it seems weak but its pretty strong, heck its running the ship.

but the mind? so fragile..

we underestimate the little triggers that send it spinning

that sends us to a dark place

that sends our body to do crazy things

that sends our hearts to feel the dumbest things we would regret

if we do not have a place to write it all down to empty our thoughts to..

where would we be..

its dangerous.

open up because its one thing that certainly keep you going.

to Him.

to your loved one

to yourself.
