Repayment

by SHYANNE BROOKS

I never asked to be given to the world
But it seems I’m the one to pay
With burdens I don’t deserve
And years filled with pain
Debts more than the years I’ve seen
Time spent managing worldly things
Expectations and laws for us all
I can never rest for fear of the fall
I never asked to be involved
Why can’t these problems be resolved 
I placed my faith in a simple dream
​But I find it’s more complex than it seemed
