Weighed Down by the World
Walking on searing coals
Weighed down by the world
The weight is pulling my down deeper
The coals submerging into my flesh
My chest pounding
Struggling to breathe
Shaking
Crumbling
My pride isn't allowing me to give up
The fire rising
My life fading away
A mist
I try to hold on
The mist fades away from my clenched fist
Out of my power
Out of my hands
Waiting
Waiting for the day
That the world blesses me by letting me go
To ascend to heaven
