Truth

I'm falling apart,
Young and old.

I can't find the ground,
Past and future.

My very bones are quaking,
I can't do this anymore!

These thoughts are always present,
Yet they never come out.

I still do it.
I cover it all.

Wear that smile,
To protect everyone.

Everyone else deserves help.
I do not.

They can all make a difference.
I can not.

I'm only a pawn in this game of chess.
They are all knights,

Kings and queens,
Even.

They all deserve the help...
I don't.

Don't try and tell me otherwise.
I know the truth.
-Me, 9/8
