I never understood why parents
Always said
Carry things using your legs
Never your back
As a child It seemed inconsistent
Due to my understanding
That I had to carry the
Weight of my family
With just the 2 legs I was given
Forced to take on the
trials and tribulations
Bestowed upon the ones before me
In order for my siblings to carry less
Don't hesitate to lift
Or miss the next step
Cause only death
Could come upon me
One day
I hope my siblings
Unlearn to carry from the back
But Instead the 2 feet beneath them
So maybe the weight won't feel so heavy
And the trauma not too hard to bear
