Is there a word to describe,
How I feel?
The pressure weighing in,
The laughter suffocating me,
And me? I sit.
As I watch the wind whipping emotions around,
And feel the ache as they scratch my numb cheeks,
My cold, concrete cheeks.
I used to be normal.
I didn't ask for this fate.
I was already full,
But you kept dishing more on my plate.
And you had done so much for me,
So I took it without complaint,
Because I swore to never let you down.
In the end I imploded.
And you know what?
I never failed you, but I failed myself.
