Loads We Carry

she carries her load on her own
weaving through the crowd
an invisible Mountain
resting on her shoulders
tense muscles, but a ready smile

she carries her load alone
despite offers to help
because who could she trust 
not to suddenly drop the Mountain?
and then she knows it would crush her

she carries her load in solitude
because the definition of alone is
"in the middle of a crowd but unnoticed"
and she is every day: they see her face
but they fail to see the Mountain she holds
