The weight of the world
grows heavy.
The uncertainty of the future
makes my heart race,
my hands tremble.
The instability of change
brings a lump to my throat
that won't be swallowed.
But with stubborn shoulders pulled back,
head held high,
face relaxed,
eyes softened,
and a small smile...
no one will know.
And as I sit with my feelings,
consumed by worry,
I realise:
everyone around me,
known or unknown,
carries their own heaviness,
uncertainty,
and instability.
Like ships passing in the night,
I am unaware of their burdens,
and they are blind to mine.
