A tiny drop of rain appears,

As her heart is slowly torn. 

Anger and disappointment swirl. 

Another drop of rain, 

And then another,

Resentment pools behind her silence. 

PAUSE… 

Good intentions keep her moving,

Doing, organizing, managing,

Holding the world.

They look at Atlas,

And hand her more.

Oblivious to the strain, 

Critiquing from the sidelines,

While their arms are empty.

PAUSE…

Make time for self-care, they say,

As if that lessens the load,

And fixes it all. 

A downpour of rain.

Oceans of resentment. 

LONG PAUSE…

A silent martyr,

Or a hero who’s suffered and evolved…

Which will she choose today? 

PAUSE…

The raindrops have fallen before,

And they’ve taught her that oceans of resentment,

Will extinguish her light and energy,

Consume her,

Drown her.

PAUSE…

So Atlas stands, 

Finds her voice inside, 

And uses it to drain the ocean.

PAUSE…

She demands help,

Respect,

Love.

PAUSE…

She shares the weight,

And stops mumbling under her breath,

About the broken promises. 

She trains the world how to handle her.

PAUSE…

For she is bursting with love and care,

For every little thing. 

She cradles the broken hearts in her arms,

Fixes the cracks no one sees, 

And breathes love into the blades of grass. 

PAUSE…

It’s easy for the world to just let her. 

To be confused by her ability to hold and give so much. 

PAUSE…

So she speaks. 

And shares,

And instructs.

So the oceans of resentment evaporate.

PAUSE…

And when raindrops trickle down again,

She knows to shake herself dry,

And stand up again.

A hero who’s suffered and evolved. 

Namaste, Beautiful
