Analysis of Burden
Fear me not!
As they say;
Is it a word I made
Or from a devil
In hiding trees?
Who am eI to fear
Or is fear afraid of me?
I glance upon the heavens
To ask my Lord,
Is this my pay?
What is this burden?
I cry every night
And drop a tear
For my fears.
I pray and sigh
To my dear Lord with Might.
Please let me stay…
I’m not ready to be taken away!
