Barricade
each burdan that falls upon me i brush away
hoping like hell
that it will be diminished from my gaze
each burden that falls upon me builds up every time
i brush it away not being diminished
just moved out of sight
each burden that falls upon me
i want to run from
yet it still hovers above me
mesmerizing my mentality
each burden that falls upon me
makes it difficult for me to establish
the barricade that i lodge around me
so as to block away the burdans that impose me
each burdan that falls upon me taunts my mind
entangling throughout my body
causing pain to flow and flourish
outside my torso
till it destroys me
causing me to surrender
