BURDEN

Life is a gift
A gift that started to feel like a burden since fifteen.

An expensive thing I don't deserve
I don't know how to treat it right
I failed to learn what to do with it.
I admit.

Such a precious gift
But in the wrong hands...
Just take it away
And free me from this guilt and weight
that keeps drowning me
that keeps suffocating me...

This guilt that never held enough power to kill me
strangles every minute of my being.

-Laxmi Bhargavi Golla
