Hold Your Own Burdens
why must you give me this burden?
with the world pressing down upon my back
on fragile skin and brittle bones
that with such force begin to crack
all you can do is stand in awe
watch as I crush under the weight
you didnt mean to cause me such pain
it wasnt out of hate
but not even your remorse
could turn back the tide
the weight you pressed upon me
was too heavy to lift, but you tried
now all you can do is watch
as I start to die
I look into your face
you just stand and cry
but you start to realize
you shouldnt have put it all on me
I breathe my last breath
finally you see
as my pain is relieved
and I pass on alone
you feel a strong pressure
crossing from bone to bone
you've gotten what you deserve
this time no help, its yours to do
now the world is on your own shoulders
but you had it coming to you
