the weight of the world on our shoulders

i’m starting to feel the weight of the world on my shoulders

and i’d really like for it to stop

but it won’t.

i know it won’t.


and i know its not just me who’s affected by the world

but that doesn’t make everything happening in the world

seem any less crushing


having the news on repeat isn’t helping

its just the same headlines

over and over

and over again


we already know what happening

we already know that things are in chaos right now

i don’t need it on loop

it certainly isn’t helping


in due time of course

they “this too shall pass”

or whatever the saying is

but right now its not feeling like anything is gonna pass anytime soon


this could have happened at any time

in any decade

yet everything decided to go down

when we decided to enter adulthood


though, really

it wasn’t a choice

you don’t control when you’re born


and i guess we dont control everything that happens in the world, either

but yikes,

everything still feels so heavy
