Fragile Framework

Beneath the skin, a thin bone protrudes,

a structure so fragile, yet bearing such moods.

Struggling with weight, the boxes I lift,

the story is written in shadows, a rift.


The pulse of my wrist, like the beat of a drum,

a rhythm of burdens, of all that’s to come.

I cradle the ache, the lines deeply traced,

a history written, in strength yet misplaced.
