[hometext] => The truth about parents as you grow up
[bodytext] => This new life This new responsibility This dependency This is important Better have it together So small and fragile Woman now turned Mother Man now turned Father They don't have it together They don't even know who they are Still fragile but not as small My world on their shoulders My lessons from their voices Their lessons come like an echo Hiding their scars and their pain The heroes never hurt Look how much you've grown They see it too Your world is growing It is heavy on their shoulders You are starting to see it Too tired to cover their scars You're almost big enough to reach your world Anxious enough to want to carry it Not knowing how heavy it is They know it's weight They don't let you carry it You're fingertips away but you look at them Look at how tired they are Carrying your world You start to understand the weight It finally happened You are carrying your world It's weight almost crushing you You finally understand They haven't let go, not yet It's time for you to carry your own world As they slowly let go You feel the full weight You feel how strong they are How they never let it crush you [comments] => 1 [counter] => 74 [topic] => 48 [informant] => Knight_Frankenstein [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )
