Walk For All

The weight upon my shoulder,
The weight that only gets thicker.
Why is it that everyone is getting colder?
Why is it that it seems all we want to do is bicker?

Don't let me fall,
Hang my weights up on the wall,
I don't think I can make is down this long hall.

My hands are shaking, and knees quaking.
My feet don't want to work, they're about to give out.
I have to do something to end this aching, to keep from breaking,
I have to do something to keep moving along this seemingly endless route!

I'm at a crawl,
Dragging myself up the next wall,
Through all the pain there is gain and I must stand tall.

Not all about this road is arduous,
Not all of this walk is never ending strife.
When walking with others laughter is contagious.
When smiling and feeling worthy, you find the meaning of life.
Done for the :iconlive-love-write: weekly thing? :shrug: Just thought of it when I yelled at someone that was saying I'm always busy.

At the beginning part of this poem, I get the sense of a failing relationship. There are a lot of imagery in this, the wall, the hallway, trying to get up and possibly keep trying to do what you think is best. And then the end, I get the feeling that the speaker had nothing else better than to turn back to their friends, the people who we always laugh with, as if an emotional drug to make us feel alive again and see that there's really a bright side to life once you reach the end of the tunnel. I like this very much and it's easy to relate for a lot of people, not just me.
