I scream into the void
hearing the words echo off my lips
forgetting that no one’s listening
Or ever seems to care
I’m not meant for anything more
than carrying other people’s burdens
I’m the one with the broad shoulders
straining under all the weight
These feet weren’t made for this
Not meant to cover all this distance
But still I run against the wind
I can’t stop now
But I’m not sure how many miles
I have left that I can move
My limits just don’t seem to matter
Nothing I say has any meaning
I’m not supposed to speak
unless it’s encouraging words
The moment I show weakness
I get left behind
But I’ve been strong for far too long
and all these joints are breaking
The seams are splitting
the cracks too big to miss
and I don’t think I can keep it all together
