We add a lot of things to ourselves
A lot of weight
A lot of baggage
Emotional stress
Physical limitations
They can help to weigh us down
Adding more as we go along
We can start to feel
Like the weight just keeps bearing down
We can even start to feel
Like the world is bearing down on our shoulders
But slowly and surely we can begin to remove the weights
Lifting yourself and lifting others as well
Living in harmony with yourself
Understanding that your are here
That you are human
And we all have our own weight to bear
It's what you decide to do with it
That truly defines you
