Burden
I've got a load on my mind but
where should I start
Should I tell my innermost
secrets hidden in my heart
Should I dare say that I've
messed up again
Or how about how my body is
riddled with pain
The fact that I have almost lost
self control
What do you do when you have
waited for so long
'When will it be my turn'
becomes an anthem song
When every bridge you cross
just leads to one more
When every time you try you
cannot unlock the door
The door which keeps you
trapped from moving on
The door which will keep you
behind when everyone else has
gone
What do you do when you have
so much to say
But there is no hear to hear
what you have to convey
You just want to be able to
speak what's on your mind
You search and search but no
confidant can you find
There may be a risk that they'll
spill your beans
To others who to know your
business are ever so keen
I've got a load on my mind but
where should I start
Sin after sin I release like some
poisonous dart
What do you do when others
make you feel inferior
When in fact they're scared
that you may be superior
To knock you down so that they
may feel good
Instead of lifting you up when
they know they should
To make you feel bad for
speaking your mind
As they watch you go forward,
afraid they'll be left behind
I want to talk - if only you
knew how much
I'm hoping you have the
remedy- have you got the
Midas touch
To take away what I feel deep
downside
To banish the thoughts of I'm
better off if I died
What do you say when you
don't know who to turn to
I'm confused and scared, but
can I turn to you
To tell you all that I have inside
To help my heart beat
again....as it slowly died
