The Weight Of The World Poem by Papillion Hejduk

The Weight Of The World

Rating: 4.5


Pressing down upon me,
With all its trials and its burdens.
Holding me back from my achievements,
Lessening its hold for no man.

Placing dreams before me,
As if they were easy to obtain.
Keeping me striving day after day,
Praying my work is not in vain.

Not caring about its heaviness,
Forcing me to carry its full weight.
An image of me at the finish line,
Glancing back at my mistakes.

Breaking down from all its obstacles,
Thrown in my way for distractions.
This world has no place for misery,
But it's not always filled with laughter.

Trying to keep my head above water,
Because I really don't want to drown.
There's no emergency team to rescue me,
When the world is weighing me down
