Taking and giving.
These difficult standards
Take tolls on victims.
His soul cares, hurts.

Denial and pain.
Pieces of him
Help others in need,
But who needs it most?

Crying for help
Did nothing for him.
Helping for help
Could be worth a try?

Lending and stealing,
Answer, he answers!
One day he'll break,
The mask will soon crumble.

I see him in tears.
I call and he stumbles,
Too far for my eyes.
A doctor for doctors.

Inspiration for this is based on a close person to me. Trying to fix everything else won't fix the true problem.
