It builds,
it grows,
it will never go away.
The weight,
the feeling when the world
might collapse on top of you.
You must always carry it,
you can never put it down.
It finds you in unexpected moments,
and it crushes you,
and suffocates you.
The pain it always brings
only adds to the load.
The worry it always brings
just makes it harder to breathe
The fear it always brings
just makes you want to collapse with the weight
It builds,
it grows,
it will never go away.
