The weight of the world
Like gravity
It works against me
As does everything

It's hard to believe
That I can still breathe
With this pressing
Against my chest

I want to be weightless
In a world
Free of everything
That controls me
And presses me
Back down to earth

I want to live
In a world
Free of worry
Free of burdens

But nothing is free
Nor guaranteed
As usual
It weighs on me
Like gravity
