i didn’t ask for this.
i didn’t ask to lift the weight of the worlds,
for it to crush my shoulders,
for it to strain my back
i hold up the universe, the
celestial spheres, all
galaxies and stars and souls
every constellation the gods put up in this
wretched sky
i hold up your world
i didn’t ask for this
i didn’t ask for this burden, this curse
to feel the weight of the worlds
the sorrows and pains and agonies of
billions of souls
i didn’t ask for this
one day the weight of the worlds will drop
it will fall from my ignoble shoulders and
crash and break and
what then?
