All Of It

We were driving the road
With no guiding light
And the car broke down
In the middle of the night

No one else there to help
No one was going to arrive
No one to help fix
This shattered drive

I'm leaning against our car
Staring up into the sky
And I just couldn't help it
But I too broke and cried

All my companion could do
Was sit next to me
For never before had they seen
How fragile I could be

And all I could think
Was of my past few days
Every little problem
From all their different ways

It all caught up
It all toppled down
From my carefully balanced scales
Set to hide my mind's twisted town

I sat, head hung low
With voices whispering
Reminding
And grinding away

The supportive hand
Of my dear companion
Just made everything worse
For my secretive dominion

Then I stood
A painfully fake smile on my face
I helped my companion up
From their own set place

And we decided to walk
The rest of the roads
For we already hit bottom
There are no more cheat codes

Now the scales are being built
To try once again
With the sliver of hope
That this time doesn't end with pain

So this lacks a good rhythm.
Until next time - ☔
