My Desires Tying Me Down

My desires, a heavy weight to bear,

A burden that I cannot share,

They tie me down, they grip so tight,

And hold me back both day and night.

I long for things I cannot have,

And dreams that seem so far away,

They haunt me with each passing day,

And leave me with a sense of dread.

But still, I chase them, come what may,

For in my heart, I know they're right,

These dreams that light my darkest night,

And give me the strength to carry on.

So I will hold onto these dreams,

And never let them slip away,

For I know that one day, somehow,

They will become my shining day.

And though my desires may tie me down,

And make my path steep and rough,

I will keep climbing, with each step,

Towards a brighter future and more love.
