Don't ask me,
To lay down my burdens,
They keep me rooted,
In reality.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

It makes me think about how sometimes, we all carry something—whether it's pain, responsibility, or expectation—that, in a strange way, shapes who we are. Your poem speaks to that tension, and it's a powerful reminder of the complex relationship we have with our own struggles. Very thought-provoking.
