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!
