Poem- Weight On My Shoulders

[worldprotector]

As I read over this poem, it really made me think, that is why I am posting it.

Things slowing down, mind closing down
All systems closed, computer overload
Too much information right now
Too much stress
I am okay, just need to rest
To escape into a peaceful world
Only for just awhile
Just to relax, and not worry
For once, for once
A land without struggles
A safe place to be alone for a hour
A hour of calmness
Is that being selfish
Really I am asking
Because I feel like I am
Want so much when I have so much
Am I spoiled, a brat
Why am I so important to you
When I can not be perfect
When I am not what I need to be
When I can't handle everything all of the time
Disappointed in myself
Getting so lazy
Brain trying not to think
Heart is trying to sleep for awhile
Is there an off switch to the chaos
An off switch to the problems
An off switch is what I need right now
But will never get
Because life is fast paced
And I am being left behind
Part of me is going ahead
But the other part is stuck
It can not move so quickly
So I am split apart
Not broken, just in multiple places
With multiple people
At different levels
And their weight is on my shoulders
But I wouldn't have it any other way
