legacy

I am him

and my mother

and something new never before seen

I carry his weight and my mother's

and my own never before seen

but the same story of every man before me and every man after

My burden is light for sure

but it is the only burden I know

and havent I said that it is poison to compare

but compared to the beaten neglected too soon touched

but it is the only burden I know

and therefore dangling down millstone strong

to pull me off the cedar bridge

and I lead a charmed life

the cellar is only dark without the torch light

and who would chose to walk in unending twilight
