And she says, "Baby, it's 3 AM, I must be lonely."

"All and Only"

I carry many things on my shoulders

I carry a backpack, which holds notebooks

Pens, pencils, folders

All for school, all for study,

Only occasionally for play


I carry many things on my shoulders

I carry clothing, which expresses me

Blue, black, green

All for individuality, all for pizzazz,

Only occasionally for uniform


I carry many things on my shoulders

I carry scars, which are emotional

Hurt, sadness, pain

All for love, all for lessons,

Only occasionally for endurance


I carry many things on my shoulders

I carry stress, which defines me

College, classwork, shooting

All for honor, all for glory

Only occasionally for necessity


It is the things that I carry that become me

Whether I carry backpacks, clothing, scars, stress

Whether it’s pencils, blue, sadness, shooting

Whether for honor, love, individuality, school

It is never against my will
