I'm stuck in a box of wall to wall emotional distress...
Can't see clearly because my eyes are foggy with the mist of my tears...
I reach out for help
ask someone to support me
Then labeled as dependent
In a world of empowerment
The weak only suffer
Because the eyes look upon you and the mouth always judges you
While inside you slowly fall apart...
So much rest on my shoulders
That if I were to trip
Take a tumble
A endless ripple in my pond will occur
I have no one to listen
The ears are all deaf
My cries all muffled before they are spoken
Yet I pretend I am strong
I put my cape and my mask on
Because in her eyes I'm the world and I can achieve anything
Who am I to let her down
While I'm feeling alone although he sits there
Fighting my demons and soothing my fears
I know his battle is much worse and I try to understand
I try to be forgiving of misplaced words
and action not normal
I try to be patient and just roll with the times
because I just can't give up yet...
But I'm breaking...
I'm slowly chipping away like an unkept estate
My walls are caving in and my windows over grown with moss
My fields look more like a forest
My gardens all but rotten
Where is my understanding
Where is my outlet
It just builds up inside
I'm like a ticking time bomb
Only when I explode everything I worked so hard to keep
Will be lost
Just a bit longer
Hang in there a bit longer
I must continue to dawn my cape and be there savior
I just want to know
When I finally fall who will save me...
