got the world in one hand, and your hand in the other.

there's this state of perfect equilibrium that i'm trying to attain-

in that state i can shoulder all the weight and strain the world has to place on me and still hold you, too.

hold you at a position that you are weightless- because you shouldn't be the one that adds pressure or burdens me.... your hand should only serve me as leverage - it should prevent me from tipping over and support me when i'm just about ready to give up- it should not lessen, but rather make all the pressure, strains, and burdens this world has placed on my being seem tolerable.

sometimes i'm unsure if i can ever reach that state of perfect equilibrium ...

i can shoulder all the weight this world has placed on me.

some of your actions and words burden me... and i try to carry them all... i try to accept the reasons for them all... but i know it's just a matter of time... at any given point, i am bound to collapse.
