Burdens

Burdens swirl all around me constantly 
All day long while awake 
And all night long while 
Asleep 

Burdens 
They are
Constantly 
In my 
Thoughts 
And in my 
Dreams 
Sometimes it drives me crazy 
As burdens never leave my head 

Burdens 
Like heavy weights 
Weigh my body down 
And make me feel so exhausted that at times I wish I didn’t have to carry on 

Burdens 
Burdens 
Burdens 
Are like a never-ending curse 
That I wish I could rid my mind and body of 
For I just want to be free 
I just long for freedom of 
Burdens 
Burdens 
Burdens
