Weight upon my shoulders

Gloomy day, delayed trains
Rain falls from the sky
Man-bag full for the task ahead
I heave a heavy sigh

It's packed full of useless stuff
Assorted crap and folders
Tugging hard on my right side
A weight upon my shoulders

My destination seems miles away
No way to get there quick
Time will be a burden
As it's hands will slowly tick

And as it winds it's hours away
I'm slowly growing older
What if I don't recognise myself
Will be a weight upon my shoulders

And what of all the other things
Friends and hopes and dreams
Languishing in the twilight
Of the day's endless routines

Wistful in my yearning
That through all it it still endures
And this burden on my shoulders
Won't be a weight on yours
