Heaviness
Loads and loads
Heavy loads
So many loads
That I need
No,
To much for me
So why not,
Let it go
Too much weight
No more room
But why do I wait
When the seas are enraged
Why do I, hesitate
To save myself
Placing this stuff
Back on the shelf
Only to bear down
On this boat
Instead of tossing this cargo,
Overboard
So I can stay afloat
Throw it off the boat
It sounds so very easy
But when the winds
Are strong and breezy
You see
That makes that same cargo
So very hard to throw
I know
This luggage
Must be vanished
Must be done away with
But this load, this weight, this cargo
Is just too much to shoulder
It’s just too much to hold
For one man, solo
It will always be
Who will aid me
In tossing this luggage
That has been so burdening
