Bearing the problems of the world

Only a child.

You don’t know.

You don’t realize or rationalize.

Bearing the problems of the world.

 

Only an adolescent.

You start to realize.

Your eyes start to open.

Bearing the problems of the world.

 

Only growing up too fast.

You understand.

You feel the weight of the your world.

Bearing the problems of your world on your own shoulders.

 

Only at your breaking point.

You can’t stand.

You fall to your knees.

Bearing the problems of your world.

 

Only screaming for help.

You don’t know what to do.

“Call on me”

Giving up the burden of bearing the problems of the world.
