Others' Sorrows
Lay down the load of others' sorrows.
Your back it should not bend
For, on the morrow,
You shall be on the mend.
People have been so wrong.
No matter what I say
They sing that tired old song
And treat you the same old way.
They didn't appreciate the burdens you shared
When their day was bad.
Never noticed how much you cared
Nor did they spare a thought that you might be sad.
To them I do beseech;
Stop the games, it's all in your head.
Cease being a leech.
Or (kindly) drop dead.
