atlas
Atlas, no wonder
You've had so many surgeries -
You carry too much weight on your back
You worry that, under all of the pressure,
You're cracking
That your physique wore away with time
Mortality of a man
Soul of a titan
Shoulders like a god
Let me lay my head on them for eternity
Atlas, man of stone
You are more than just a statue
But I will carve you back into
A work of art again
Take hold of your world
Learn the ridges
What makes her quake
Atlas, Atlas, the world is yours
She goes to sleep every night
With the knowledge
That you will not shrug her off
