to shed a tear

I shed a tear tonight.

Not because of our fight

Or in reflection of what was said.

You see me smile and cheer

Even raise above all those around me.

Inside Im breaking I hate to tell you.

Thats where that tear was born.

I carry a load that cant be explained.

Half of it I do choose to carry on my back.

Thats very true.

But then again I cant let it down in fear

That no one will carry it in my place.

And even if I knew someone would carry this burden for me.

I would not choose my greatest of enemys to be burdened by it.

Your right I select my path.

I know the road I walk.

But in the end I still show the scars of its journey.

My muscles feel the tare of this weights strain.

No its not your problem that causes this quest.

No its not you, no its not you

Even though its you I put this through
