Analysis of Trodden
Lonely mind weighs heavier than clouds of bad weather
Like the world on the shoulders of Atlas
Crushing one down the path to one’s palace
I’ve been bearing this weight for so long.
Trodden down by weight as cold as ice
No friend feel the pain behind these eyes
No one notice the weight
Only smiling face.
Clouds weigh heavier by the day
It may soon start to rain.
