Easing My Burden
Wanting to laugh, instead I cry.
I need to accept, but I continue to defy.
Hoping to find love, feeling too much hate.
I want to believe, but I can't relate.
I see only darkness, yet I yearn for light.
I must be all wrong, but I feel I am right.
I pray for peace, but I am being torn apart.
I need to rebuild, though I can't even start.
To set a goal, and to believe I will try.
But as time passes, it becomes a lie.
I want so badly to leave this burden behind.
Unfortunately, I can't erase it from my mind.
Knowing that all of these things are true,
I ask the wind, what can I possibly do?
