Running in denial

A fruit
too heavy to cling
to the branch of life
must fall and merge
eternally with soil

How gracefully you call
a difficult fruit
to your heart

Then why not I
too heavy to carry on
with the austerities
of human life

Am I not worthy
though weak and fragile
to be with you forever
in your heavenly sky

Far far away
from the misunderstood pain
of the world
a suffering race
running in denial.
