Atlas
I now hold the entire world within my arms;
A gift for a creature devoid of charms,
An honour I never earned nor deserve -
A great purpose in life, a role to serve.
Never strong I have been, and never brave,
No features that redeem, no soul to save.
A life spent wasted on fruitless passtimes;
Writing empty songs and making bad rhymes,
But my life truly began when I first held
The one who would be the entire world.
So now proudly I stand with head held high,
My feet on the ground, my face to the sky,
Prideful, and happy, and honoured, and glad.
Invincible, for the world calls me “dad”.
