The Weight and the Spark By : lowercase.base.eth Each morning breaks with an anxious moan Do you think they need me? I could just stay home The alarm confirms it's time to move The coffee drips, a bitter truth The daily loop seems like a spell Another day inside this shell The traffic groans, a crawling line A thousand thoughts pass through my mind Emails pile like fallen leaves Deadlines pass by in the breeze The days are long and filled with stress A blur of tasks, I'll do my best But then— a laugh Not forced or planned, Not like a show The emotions are real, this I know My children's giggles from upstairs My dogs that spin in dancing flares My wife who texts I Love You I text her back Love You Too These moments crack the hardened gray And suddenly, I feel today Not as burden, not as fight As a flicker, a flame, as a growing light So yes, the weight is always there But your spark will keep you from despair Find your spark and hold it tight Your reason to keep up the fight
