things unsaid

my head is spinning,
around like a turntable.
all because of this weight
you have placed on my shoulders.
this weight i cannot carry,
for i am too young.
you think i don't know,
that i don't understand.
but i know too much.
my head spins,
i know too much.
i want to stop the pirouettes
my mind is dancing.
lift the weight,
please take it back.
