The Unbearable Lightness Of Being Heavy

CATEGORY

Views: 17

Please remove this yoke from my shoulders Lord

I beseech you

Help me lord

Help me please 

Help me carry this weight

The weight of the world got me weak in the knees

Carrying the Christian cross white albatross

Keep me low to the ground

Gravity hugs my neck in a cruel embrace

A physical form with a strong back and weak mind

I am heavy

I carry the weight of yesterday today and tomorrow

I carry the weight of one million tons of tragedies

Weighed down with ball and chain dementia

Got me reaching for God with alligator arms

Here I am Lord with obtuse and obese butterfly wings flapping against the wind

Muscle sinew and tendons lay heavy on my bones

My being betray my dreams

A lead feather falling to earth this hostile home

Inside I cry envious of birds and 747 aeroplanes

High in the sky

My feet stuck in the ground

Red clay and caliche soil is my birthright

Maybe I was never meant to be airborne

Maybe I was never meant to be aerodynamic

I don't why I still want to fly....
