These Burdens That I Carry

These burdens that I carry
Hold me back and ensue I don’t tarry
For they drag me down
Being left on this unholy ground

Did I see what I should have then
At the beginning and not the end
Am I the one who is left with it all
Crossing these bridges and getting up after each fall.
