the burden of carrying everything
on your back
the burden of your mind
that's always ready to attack
the burden which makes you a target
and also what makes you want to forget
I carry the people that I love
but, I can feel the screaming from above
the air being squeezed out of my lungs
feeling just above the water
but low enough to drown
the burden of the waves
crashing over your body
the burden of being me
