Those voices
Like urgent secrets
On winter winds
Carry to my ears
Rendering me helpless
To the onslaught of tears.
Must I constantly feel sorry
Rather than thrive on strength?
What if..
Just what if I am sick
Of being the strong one?
But I know I'm not the only one
Who feels this way.
That is comfort alone.
Sometimes this dwelling of hope within me
Makes me insane with possibilities of rivalry.
Is hope my burden or my blessing?
I am sure it is both.

Hope is a hard road but the most important for a weary traveler.

I relate to this so well. I questioned the voices for a time and they abandoned me. Indeed, the burdeon is a blessing. Never question that.
