Freedom's Burden
Freedom carries with it
a burden heavier than bondage,
as a slave endeavors to bear
the obligation of Liberty’s burden,
the Free has already this burden,
endeavoring the strength to endure such weight,
so that his freedom might not be relinquished.

The Weight
Bottled emotions are heavy,
the weight can keep your mind unsteady.
Unbalanced,
you stand the chance of tipping over.
Indeed so,
those emotions will spell over,
expelling another
load off your shoulders,
and peace of mind
your soul will soon discover.
