Atlas yearning for his youth: An Autobiography
~Raunak Chopra
How do you learn to live with the burden of living?
(It’s so heavy and so light and so immovable and so fluid.)
How do you learn to live with the black and the blue?
(Take it away if only for a moment, the weight of the world.)
How do you learn to live with the bitterness you can’t shake?
(My eyes used to be bright and shining all I see now is red.)
How do you learn to live with the burden of living?
(Let me go back to when my shoulders didn’t hurt.)
I like this!
