Cracks to Crumble

I am a building, built on shaky ground

My walls have grown heavy, and my supports are all but crumbled away 

So what keeps me standing?

Clothes ready to fall apart at the seams still hold 

And yet, all the strength in the world does not favor the bold 

The ground, as inviting as ever sings of the day I finally lay down 

Crumble to pieces so that I may be rebuilt, stronger

But as each day passes, it becomes harder to fall apart

As the need to stay together becomes increasingly important 

Because even on faulty ground, I must stand strong for those around me 

And even then, the day I do, I may no longer be rebuilt
