Where it Lies

What I'm good at
Is getting hurt
Lying through my teeth
And falling in the dirt

I would pick myself up
If only I could stay standing
Brush off the dust
Instead of demanding

For the help of others
For their constant attention
For their time and money
And support I might mention

But instead here I will lay
Say that I'm fine
That I don't need their help
And even though I'm lying

The truth of it is
That I lie here in wait
For another soul
To realize my pain
