A world tied

CC BY-NC
The world is heavy Yet no one told me to carry it I hold on with ropes tied to me I hold on because no matter how tired I was I was not ready to accept that my dreams lied to me Because a world comprise more than just what it has mountains that's yet to be climbed and skies that are meant to be soared my world is not coming down To limits and faults I woke my eyes too

Im a seventeen year old who had a passion for writing since the 4th grade I thought it was going to take me somewhere seeing that I was the only boy who couldn't play sports who was born with a soft soft voice and remains misunderstood I have spent my childhood trying to escape every comer of it yet still I have gotten nowhere I still have big dream like making children's dream come true and going to America

Relatable. This reads like an inner monologue.
