Burden

What I feel these days

Is enough to drive anyone crazy

Is it possible I’m going insane?

Is there any reason for me to love me?

I find so much fault in all I’ve become

I’m overwhelmed, I’m overcome

Didn’t think things would end up like this

But they will you tell so

That the hopes you held up

Sometimes you just gotta let go

But it’s much easier to say than actually do it

My mind’s gone astray

How do I get through it?

People shout directions in my ears

But all I needed was a whisper

Someone’s gentle hold

Take my hand, help me cross the road

Wherever to take off the load

I’m a burden

Can’t even sleep at night

Holding myself tight

Waiting for a miracle, a light

Am I really expecting a magician?

Opening my eyes, but then the darkness is real

I know I can’t runaway

I know my secrets are revealed

An exposed disaster, a life devoid of laughter

Can you promise I’ll be safe after?

I’m tired of running these circles

What goes around comes around goes around

Thinking for a moment I’m finally flying

Right before I crash to the ground

Lying there broken

An already used token

So many words unspoken

Ask me who I am?

I’m a burden

I’m so sorry for what I’ve done

I’m so sorry for what I’ve become

Could’ve been a shining beacon

But I’m just a burden

I’m just a burden

I am a burden

Hmm, a burden
