“your problem is not my problem,
we have a right to our own choices,
We can carry our own weight,
created in our tangled web of existence.
But we are blessed
with the chance to create our own fate.
Our lives may be different,
fast-paced or quiet and somber;
at times precarious and promiscuous in the way life is.
Sometimes together in love,
Sometimes separate in fear
but regardless of that
I’ll always lend you my ear to listen;
To share burdens if you need.
For my problem is not your problem,
And yours is not mine to bear.
But together maybe we can find a bit of solace,
In this life that we decided to share.”
