Atlus Overcome
Thoughts have been weighing on my mind,
a burden greater than my shoulders can carry,
their gravity enough to crush me beneath.
We learn to cope with trails in our lives
by simply maintaining, keeping a routine.
Coping doesn’t interest me.
My aim is to overcome.
To crawl over the rubble of towers I’ve brought down.
One must experience several meltdowns
in order to discover the right formula,
the ever-increasing compound to continually drive
us in the right direction, eventually
leading us to the right path.
This weight may be crushing me now,
but I refuse to become Atlus,
his burden of the world robbing him
of the ability to make the slightest shrug.
Give me his load, ten times that weight,
and eventually I will learn to lift it.
When I grow strong enough to throw it
clear out of my life, I will emerge,
battered and not unscathed,
but stronger than I have ever been.
