Lyrically speaking this is vastly more positive than most of the stuff I write. That said, it's my first ever FAWM and this whole experience has got me thinking about how sometimes we dwell too much on our insecurities instead of looking for support in community as human beings. So that's that. I don't feel like it's a fully complete idea; I still need to come up with a bridge. But in the spirit of getting to 14, it's good enough for FAWM.

i dream myself awake and wonder what is wrong with me staring at the ceiling at three who is this imposter that i know myself to be oh, what do i know

ooh if i could reach out and lighten my load it's been far too many miles on this lonesome road i am barely managing to keep my troubles stowed i've got to lighten this load

she's sleeping on the couch and under the light of the tv downstairs, individually paralyzed with worry over things she should not be oh, what does she know

ooh if she could reach out and lighten her load open up her eyes to see the girl that i behold she is barely managing to keep her troubles stowed she's got to lighen her load

people everywhere under the sun are living restlessly trying just to clear the debris terrified of something that they think that they might be oh, what does anybody know

ooh reach out and lighten your load let go of the burden and just find a hand to hold everybody feels the static, it's evidently automatic reach out and lighten your load
