The world should not be
a weight on our shoulders.
If anything we should be
the burden on its back,
But somehow the roles have now reversed
and I'm stuck carrying the sky.
It gets really heavy sometimes,
but it only makes my bones grow taller,
makes my heart fall harder,
sets my blood pumping.
Sometimes carrying the sky is the only way I can remember I'm alive,
and that this is what it's like
to be human.
