The Burden-Bearer's Page

An empty page could render support,

like someone offering their shoulders

to surrender their burdens on; it's unbelievable.

I felt like empathy was being shared

by something that doesn't speak,

yet understands everything.

My friend had advised me to pen all my feelings on this empty page; I was hesitant initially,

and now, slowly, it feels like it has become my comfort zone, my home.

Her words gave me courage and strength,

making this space feel alive.

I write literary genres as my therapy,

for happiness, and believe this to be a trustworthy space.

This one blank page, an empty space, has mystical powers that obliterate the past, bestowing a new version of myself with grace.
