Burden Of Success
© Harold Vondenstein 1-30-04
Why are you carrying this burden
Why are you burdened with success
Success as you know it
Is as good as you can throw it
Why are you carrying this burden
It’s why you’re hurtin
It’s why you cry
Because you’re striving
For what you think is right
But it’s a lie
It’s a lie
That who you are is in this role
It’s not true that you must be
How others want you to be
It’s not true
That you must conform to this success
At best
It’s robbing you of rest
It’s the rest that you must have
For where you’re going
It’s the rest
That you won’t have
With your success
