Loads !

It's all in my mind,
Is that what you have to say.
A trick played by,
Those darkened voids in my soul.
Try carrying my burdens,
Then will you come to know.
Why my shoulders are slumped,
Sweat sticking on my brow.
Then I will be the one mocking,
"Why do you wish to be strong"?
And you will be quiet then,
Guilt restricting your voice to come out.
Give back the load oh stranger !
For I do not intend to play Atlas.
I carry my burdens on my own,
Even the one's I yearn to throw.
Like the one you gave me today,
A gift box marked criticism.

Author's Note

For all those who think being depressed and sad is nothing but our thoughts. Well that includes me too. But some months ago I would have had totally been able to relate to this writing. But now I cannot do that.
Just thoughts ! Maybe I am wrong . Who knows ?
