Somedays I feel the day is on my side,
Other days I feel like I’m swimming against the tide,
In a Hurricane,
Ripping me to shreds,
Pulling the bricks of who I am apart.
I can feel the ropes around my body,
Tightening around my neck,
My legs,
My arms,
I resist them,
They're stronger than me,
I can’t breath,
I can’t move,
Everything starts collapsing around me,
My world is falling apart,
I tell everyone I’m fine,
They can’t see my ropes,
They deal with their own,
They ropes are especially tight today,
I make it through with a smile as usual,
It gets harder,
I lie in bed,
I can't sleep
I cry,
I sob,
I scream for help,
The ropes loosen.
I try to pick up the bricks of who I used to be,
Happy,
Loving,
Caring,
Me,
The bricks turn into dust in my hands,
I have to start over.
People notice that I've changed,
My bricks are gone,
I need new ones,
I look at those around me,
I steal their bricks,
They don't fit.
I make new bricks,
They are not the same.
The bricks that I’ve stolen fall around me,
Crushing me
I can't get out,
I pushed others away,
I have no one to help me,
There is no way out,
I lose...
