Weight of the World

I’m a good person.

I have done great things in my 22 years here on Earth.

I have never intentionally harmed someone.

My vices are English boys and good food.

I could’ve turned to drugs.

I could’ve turned to alcohol.

I could’ve let this carousel spin faster and faster until I was flung off.

I could’ve jumped off that cliff.

I could’ve lost my head.

But I didn’t.

I’m still holding on.

I’ve still got a faith in a God who watches over me.

I’ve battled through this year

And it’s not over yet.

So you can slander me all you want.

You can press down with all the force of your hate.

You can lie to me

You can try and break me

But I haven’t broken yet.

I haven’t given into the weight of the world quite yet

And I’m not going to let something like you break me.

I’m too strong for that.

So I will continue to believe I’m a good person.

I will still have faith.

I will still smile and let it roll off

Because I could’ve let it get me.

But I didn’t.

And I’m not going to let you

Ruin my mind,

Ruin my life.

I am a good person

And that’s not going to change anytime soon.
