One Realization


I have come to the realization that I am not worthy to do much But relieve other's burdens. It is a task I hardly mind, save it is my only task. Heavy weight is always concealed. I battle constant loneliness. I am so unhinged that anyone trying to lean on me Will find us both on the ground. Worse for wear- That's all I can do for you. Everyone gives warnings or pity, and no more. I yearn for trust and love. 'Suppose I must take what I get. Each step seems a thousand miles, And a thousand miles, one. But I have come to the realization: This is what my life must be.

Hi! My name is Elizabeth Davenport, and I'm a college student who loves all things language, no matter what language it is! I'm probably reading, writing, or dancing in the rain right now. I'm a featured poet, Aura, on diesandnoctis.com (go check them out: they're great!), and use the names E.D., Elie Dav, and Elizabeth Davenport when posting my own.
