spoken like a true diplomat

I live in the middle

Hanging on the post

Engraved like Lady liberty

On a scale

The Libra sign pressed into my skin

Like constellations

from a young age

I am the center

The middle

While the real work gets done

I keep the peace

I am the one

that helps people

find the inspiration

i am the one

that carries

the burden of the world

so others can move forward

atlas was cursed

because he wanted to help humanity

selflessness is rewarded

with a weight like no other

taking care of others means they

will ask you to carry their bags

and the only response is

the smiles on their faces

it takes a lot of strength

to hold the world on slender shoulders

but all of our strength keeps him going

for we are all holding our own world

and there are those who are always willing

to help someone carry

the weight
