I'm No Chicken Little

I'm no chicken little

I've always fancied my self more of an Atlas
And I've done nothing but encourage others
Whether, by puffery or omission, to agree.

I've actually had most of them convinced too!
That the vast sum of their worlds could balance
Safely and firmly between my shoulder blades.

But now, I'm a victim of my own design
Because not a single person I've told
Believes me when I try to warn them

The sky
IS
Falling

And there's not a thing I can do to stop it.
