Heavy Hands
With the weight of the world
In your hands
You quickly learn and understand
Dependency is something to be ashamed of
When you hand that weight to someone else
You wanna take it back
You practically beg
So you don't see them in the same pain
With the weight back
You begin to crumble
And all 8 billion of the people
And all the land and sea animals
Begin to shake and fall
"How irresponsible! You could've killed us all" They screech
"But I've held on for so long!"
You try to reason
But no matter how long you succeeded
You almost depleted
Now, the shame overwhelms you
It takes more willpower than you own
To keep it contained in you!
