What am I to do?
All I wanted was one book
But as i reached
For the bottom-most one
The entire stack
Tumbled on top of me
And now I am stuck
Beneath a heavy heap
Of literary works.
Like or Dislike:
+1
Every step I take
Is leaded with weariness
And the pain in my throat.
Man, I hate being sick.
Like or Dislike:
+1
The days of the dances
Always bring
A heavy weight
Of disappointment
In my heart
As I sit at home
And watch
Pointless television.
Like or Dislike:

I have so many ideas,
Flowing through my head.
But a heavy wall blocks them,
So they cannot be read!
Sometimes i poke holes,
In that massive stockade.
But the thoughts don’t fit through!
And ideas are never made!
Like or Dislike:
+1
Life’s heavy glaciers
slowly sculpt
my rocky soul.
Like or Dislike:
0
lugging around everything that he’s hiding
never able to unload on somebody else
without risk of losing relations
yet with every word the load gets heavier
Like or Dislike:

Heavy is the sound
of a beating drum
pound pound pound
thump thump thump
heavy are the limbs
of a soldier after war
vision begins to dim
what was he fighting for?
Heavy is the hand
of a disciplining dad
who must teach his son to stand
and accept his deed as bad
heavy is the heart
who has lost a loved one
to someplace far
lover, brother, sister or son
