These Gifts Are Often A Burden Poem by DM W

These Gifts Are Often A Burden



O these rites of passage reoccur in dreams!
Through blazing fire and icy storm, I'm 'reborn'.
Am I just another pawn in the gods' schemes?
Why do I feel so hopeless, weary and worn?
Although I'm gifted with creative powers,
What good are they in terms of true happiness?
O I may give birth to a thousand flowers,
And yet I often feel cursed, rather than blessed!
