What's It Like To Have The Weight Of The World On Your Shoulders

It's a periling feeling

Wanting to embrace change

So the living

Will become

Greater than

What they could be

In a revolutionary & intellectual sense

The pressure to fulfill social obligations

Represents a thorough bred distinction

Painting a picture

Of a world that's growing colder

Every second of every minute

It's interesting to wonder

its certainly an interesting question to ask but I think nobody will ever truly know what its like to have the world on their shoulders; its all about perspective and what everyone imagines their own weight set to be. well done :)

[Dana Alsamsam]

we use that phrase so often, a common cliche- to have the world on ones shoulders... but really what does it mean? you question that topic in this piece. very interesting!

Not much I can say to add to this one, it's all in the poem...you really said it my friend...well-written, and thought-provoking just like you intended :)

It is indeed, sometimes it is better just to walk in your own shoes, problems will come and then you'll feel the whole world on your shoulders...great job, like the poem

Ah, my favorite type of writing - profound and thought provoking!

We combine revolutionary and intellectual thoughts as the answer to the woes of the world, but too often they are those that fit the bill of sale of ones in charge - instead of those who will benefit most from the changes made.

Let us stop and ponder what it is like to have the weight of the world on one's shoulders. When it is as this are we able to best make the correct choices, is our mind clear enough to bring enough warmth into this ever colder world? One thing is clear to me however - one will either stand, or fold.

I would enjoy debating such a topic.

The thorough bred mindset is not always representative of the majority.
