You Are Not A Burden

You are worthy

You Are Not A Burden

It does not matter what you were told,

The trauma transcended on you from earlier generations.

Whether you are disabled, different, of any sexuality,

You are loved just as much as anyone else.

Be you a leader of an organization, or a lonely beggar,

God as we see him created you for a purpose.

You are no burden and regardless of what others say,

You tide the world over and enrich others.

No matter what others call you,

However they attack,

The universe will guide you,

And bring you back

Home to your purpose

No matter how far you wander.

    You are never anyone's burden; you are the beam of light that shines into life

    Very wondering

  • Sara Wynn8 months ago

    Even your title and subtitle are powerful. Love the line "God as WE see him," because so many see God in their own image and conveniently their version of God would attack those they themselves have issues with based differences. You are not a burden. You are worthy. Valuable. Loved. Everyone has worth and a purpose. 100%.

    The imagery of the universe guiding us back home to our purpose is stunning. I'm curious, what inspired this particular poem? Your style resonates so much with me

  • Eddy Whitehead8 months ago

    This is a beautiful and necessary piece. As a mental health advocate, I see so many people carrying the weight of feeling like a burden due to their struggles. Your poem's affirmation that everyone is loved and has purpose is a powerful antidote to that shame. I'm sharing this with my community. Do you have other works that address mental health and self-worth in such a poignant way?

  • Fred Davis8 months ago

    Sid, your poem touched me deeply as someone who has struggled with trauma from past generations. The line 'You are no burden and regardless of what others say' brought tears to my eyes—I've often felt like a weight on others. Your words remind me that I have a purpose, even on hard days. Thank you for this healing message. How did you find the strength to write such uplifting words?
