Burdens

A Poem by 송지석 / Ji-Suk
"

I love my brother very much

"
You’re always smiling
But you look so lonely
Don’t hold in your tears
It’s alright, you and me
Put down your burdens
Just for a little bit, you hear me

If it’s not too late
I hope my cracked heart reaches your pained heart

Times I endured alone and you would tell me I did a good job for each day, my star

Whenever something is up
But you feel like no one knows but I do know your pain since we share the same blood
You endured until now so please take my outstretched hand
When you want to give up on something, I'll do it for you 

Thoughts keep growing
Words keep cutting you
And you ask yourself
Who is this even for?

Think about it, snap out of it
Don’t be shaken by petty words
Who is this even for?
So make a stronger promise to yourself

Don't kill your hopes 
You make me realize who I need 

Are they really deep inside your head? 
Do they control you like a little marionette? 
I'll cut the strings off you
Let me free the wings of your soul.

If it’s not too late
I hope my cracked heart reaches your pained heart
Times I endured alone and you would tell me I did a good job for each day, my star
Don't take all the weight by yourself, sometimes you cannot take everything for me
I'll be there hold on 

I believe that happiness comes in little doses
You always told me that but it’s not always easy
However, this time I will be holding your hand

If it’s not too late
I hope my cracked heart reaches your pained heart

In the night sky
I can see a particular shining star
To me, it’s exactly like you
I’m late but please understand
The words that I treasure every day

Wow, this poem is really good too! I like the hope that this poem conveys, and the way that it conveys it, gentle, soft, not forcing it. Good job!
