Baggage

I lie awake at night thinking

when it was me against the world

The tables seemed to take a drastic turn

With each success, this world throws a lot more than I can handle

I go on as if there's a feather floating on my back

I carry the sorrows of my mother

My sisters addiction

The tears I've shed over my father

It's made it's way into every ounce of my body

Is everyone blind or am I just good at hiding?

I fix the ones around me desperate to piece them back together

Filling in the pieces with myself at times

Until, there's nothing left

But, an empty shell of a person I used to call happy

It's life evils trick

Save me from my misery, please

I beg of someone to heal me so maybe I can go on freely
