My Burden Poem by Terry Coates

My burden is deep, for that is why I smoke weed
I do the drug because it eases my mind and I can unwind
The drug helps me be free as a bird
Like all my sins are gone just me and the poems
My burden is so heavy, it breaks my knees
For I can break to my knees, and say please let me free
My burden ways over a 100 tons that is why I walk like am done
I go to others to help me be free, but know one has an answer for me
I walk in the shadows lonely and sad, wishing to God that I wasn’t so bad
If there is any help out there please let me free, for I will be your debt forever to be
