I once heard a story about Atlas
Who held the world on his shoulders
As punishment

The weight of it all,
Crushing
So why are we punished?

The answer is never so simple
I think that it is beautiful
Because it is different for everyone
I think that it is heartbreaking
Because it is often discovered alone
And there is a glimmer of hope
Like a distant star
When someone wants to help

Little do they know
As much as they try
You can't carry two worlds at once.
No matter what it is, everyone is fighting a battle.
