A bowl on my shoulders

That's responsibility.

Very rarely it's hollow

The weight it once held a distant memory.

Most times it’s overflowing,

a sloshing, shifting mass of duties.

Bringing me to my knees.


Still, I persist,


forever forward,

balancing it delicately,

for stopping

is defeat.
