The Burden
August 30, 2014
I walk alone
Searching to find a home
Somewhere where I belong
Soemwhere far away
So I won't be a burden
All my life
I was a burden to someone
No matter what
They blamed me
For everything
I need to escape
I need to runawy
Where no one will find me
Somewhere by myself
This is me
This is the...
Burden

The words float so gently with each line, so gracious
I wrote this because I feel like I'm a burden to everyone. My boyfriend's roommate acts like everything is my fault. My boyfriend's roommate Jeremy doesn't like me because he thinks I am here to take my boyfriend away from him. All because I hang out with my boyfriend more then my boyfriend hangs out with his roommate. It really bugs me that Jeremy treats me like crap when he doesn't even know me.
