Poem: The Weight of the World


*Note* So, originally this poem was my attempt at writing a song, but a) I can't play any accompanying instrument, and b) I had no idea what anything besides rest of the song should be, so I decided to post it here. I hope you guys enjoy! (Also, I know the title has nothing to do with the poem itself, but it actually would have tied in if I ever finished the song)

 

Every day is a challenge

A mountain you have to surpass

And you go about trying

To measure up at last

Some days you feel golden

Like you've won a great big prize

And you feel the love

And feel the strength inside

 

But then it all changes

And nothing is the same

But then it all changes

And you feel like you're the one to blame

Your world is spinning out of control

And you know that you're broken

But you want to look whole

So you hide all your pain

All your sorrow and heartache

And you carry it alone

Letting it push until... you... break.

I just saw this 😭 I don't know how I missed it. 

@Keteᛕ, if you still want to, that would be great. 

@Verdance, if you ever come back, I would love to do it with you.
