Weight of the World

The world was welcoming

But there was no telling

What would happen next

The world was warm

I never meant to get caught in the swarm

Fun it had been

When I was ten

Now the weight of the world

Comes crashing,thrashing

Leaving me dashing

Away from the weight of the world

I'm on the run

No time left for fun

Better hurry

Run away from the weight of the world

I'm not ready

I'm not steady

To take on the weight of the world

Whether it's straight or curled

I'm not ready for the world

Let's climb back to bed

Staying little instead

Whether it's straight or curled

I'm not ready for the world
