I Carry The Weight

I carry the weight

Of love in abundance.

Of brighter days

That see with wide eyes.

I carry the weight

That is never a burden.

It’s a weight that feels light.

A weight that feels divine.

Feels like freedom.

The weight of paradise is upon my shoulders.

No pain does this heart feel.

No hate shall bound me.

A feeling surreal.

Feeling like feathers in the wind

Carried away in bliss.

This is the weight that I carry.

It’s the weight of love’s kiss.

Numb

Numb from the hurt and pain.

Numb from the target on my head.

Wondering what enemies want to gain?

Shameful to think, “What if I’m next?”

Racism is to blame

For me wondering, if soon,  people will say my name?

But onward I MUST and WILL go.
