The Burden Within

Lost in the shadows of endless nights,

Carrying burdens that hide from sight.

Caught in the storm where the heart aches,

Forgotten self, a soul that breaks.

Waking up to silent cries,

Every minute, hope just dies.

Hands that tremble, eyes so tired,

Dreams of freedom, tightly mired.

Who am I behind these tears?

Drowning in these quiet fears.

Breaking under the weight I bear,

Reaching for a breath of air.

Caregiver’s heart, trapped in a maze,

Lost in a fog, caught in a haze.

Forgot to nurture, forgot to heal,

Struggling just to keep it real.

It's okay to fall apart,

To reclaim your broken heart.

Seeking strength in silent cries,

Breaking free, reclaim the skies.

Remembering who you used to be,

Beyond the pain and endless sea.

caring for yourself is not a crime,

It's the only way to heal in time.
