Damaged Goods
April 23, 2013
Every turn is another mistake.
Every step is a falter.
I grab your hand,
and you fall with me.
Now I bear this burden.
Push forward to the top.
Always pressing forth.
Always pursuing a greater height.
I won't look back,
Until I've taken you to a better place.
We’ll reach the top,
And look at how far we've gone.
Now, you’ll follow us.
Until I falter.
Everyone falls.
Must I bear this burden as well?
Must this sin fall upon my shoulders?
Even with this weight.
Even when I have been cast aside.
I will carry on.
