My Burden
By: Devin Cade

When you feel all is given,
And nothing is left to chance,
	Do you question your heart?

When you look at all about you,
And you swear you can hear the wheels of despair turning,
	When did these thoughts start?

A guilt burdens in my mind,
How much of this did I provoke?
	How much did I let lay rest?

With each passing thought, I feel a little wiser,
Yet which have I come to detest?

Thoughts and wisdom alone cannot describe
this unsubsiding anomaly within my head,
	Do I keep these answers inside?

If the question is indeed answered in your eyes,
Should I forfeit my place or being,
	Just to say I tried?
