Just Like Us
May 10, 2019
They carry the weight of then world
But they hide it so well
Their so perfect
They are who we aspire to be
Until we learn
They’re not so perfect
Their problems whispering to them constantly
Reminding them
That they too, carry the weight
Of the world, reminding them
That they too
Are just like us
