Too often she carries her weight in despair

Dark thoughts have free rein in her life, she complies 

Dwelling on the burdens of the life that she bears, 

 

Unable to craft a new story of care,

She dances to the beat of negative vibes

Too often she carries her weight in despair

 

She has no imagination, pizzazz or flair

No way of knowing how to turn tail on the tide

Dwelling on the burdens of the life that she bears, 

 

No confidence or self-esteem left to spare,

Little or no room for any pride to reside,

Too often she carries her weight in despair.

 

The damage is done, no bandage can repair

Once at her peak, she’s now bottomed the slide

Dwelling on the burdens of the life that she bears, 

 

She sits in the chair with an openmouthed stare

The needle still lodged in a vein opened wide

Too often she carries her weight in despair

Dwelling on the burdens of the life that she bears,
