Burdens

Burdens

a group poem

I got my burdens on my back

If you look you see the scars

But those scars are no reason to slack

I am the man I am today

Due to my history or my story

Hope you can handle it, it gets kinda gory

But that's all in yesterday

Which is said and done

Now, will I freeze or will I run

Doing the same things, just a different day

I'm always wondering when it will finally end

But in the end I know I will be better

With no way to see through

My frosted windows, I wish the

conditions of my loved ones were clear to me

Chains tied to me underwater

Screaming at the top of my lungs

Wanting to hear her again

My body is in here

My heart is elsewhere

But my family is out there

I've started to wilt

The scales started to tilt

Am I ready to be built?

All of the dead times

Chains pulling me behind

The past is possessing my mind

The world was on my shoulders

When I couldn't live sober

Like when something dies in your life

You get sad and think of the past

Relishing the moments you once had

The burden is what takes you down

Inspiration will pick you up

At the end, hope for the best.
