My Current Self & You
My younger self
would wish to take your pain away,
to alleviate the burdens from your shoulders,
placing it on myself,
but I am wiser now,
knowing my arms should not be used
to lift your weights,
for only you can conquer the obstacles
placed in your path,
but to wrap and comfort you
as affirmation,
for regardless of what you endure
you are not alone,
and while I cannot resolve your hardships,
you may lean on me
or reach for reinforcement
no matter the hour
