"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
