The Weight Upon Me
I can feel the stones
because they were shown
As people around me
judge me for something the couldn't see
I could feel the beating on my body
and felt the pain of the ones riding me
could I have done something different?
Down and out feeling like the weight of the world
was on my shoulders
but... I wear two hearts
One in my chest and the second one
that came shorty after birth
My heart shaped birth mark on the sleeve of my arm
And one day I hope the weight I could not bare
will reveal itself upon me
