Frail Living
The fragility of my soul frightens me
The staggering weight of the overwhelming
could shatter me with a simple breeze
I am a flower wilting
I'm dying in the sun and there is no rain
I have given my life away
bled out from the wrists cut by my love
I have no love left to give
for myself
I was not taught how to live myself
I see those walking around with bandages that scream
Stay Strong
I think God forgot to stock my supply closet
I'm told to give and give and not be selfish
I am not selfish
I am not selfish
Someone teach me to be selfish
Because what is looking into the eyes of God
and telling him you tried your best
When you have opened your eyes in the morning
the weight of your tears dragging you down
and still done you best
my legs have broken
my heart is stolen
But still I bleed
and scream for the life of me
that's fading
simply
drained
