I Carry The World
I carry the world on my shoulders, my back about to break. Determined not to let it drop, as the ground will often shake.
Earth is angered by the way, I sit here always kneeling. Pressed between the land and sky, my mind is always reeling.
Wind is my best company, sweet caresses to my skin. Soothing away my sorrows, since calamity did me in.
Light radiates and fills me with warmth, my heart always aflame. But when darkness begins to set, the shadows say I'm to blame.
I carry the world strapped to me, a vow I cannot break. Sacrifices made for greater good, praying for souls that are at stake.
