Getting Through

The weight of the world rests on my back

Like the dead carcass of an unrealized dream.

My shoulders hurt from the burden of it all

But I can’t put it down, I can’t put it down.



I’m trudging through the desert of pain

Under burning disappointment by day,

And bone-chilling confusion by night.

On the other side is my garden of peace,

Where I will lay my burden down,

Sit under the weeping willow,

And cry until I am cleansed.
