$MASKS

The weight of life, it presses down
A heavy burden, a constant frown
Responsibilities, like chains that bind
A never-ending cycle, a grind of the mind

The world outside, a chaotic sea
A turbulent storm, that's hard to be free
Expectations high, like a mountain steep
A climb that's endless, a journey to keep

The weight of life, it takes its toll
A weary soul, a heart that's old
Longing for peace, a respite from the pain
A chance to breathe, to love again

But still we carry, this heavy load
A burden shared, a story untold
For in the weight, there's a beauty found
A strength that's born, a spirit unbound

So let the weight, of life be a test
A chance to grow, to find our best
For in the darkness, there's a light that shines
A beacon of hope, a heart that's divine.
