cracks

see, I cannot handle 

no longer 

there are cracks in my skin, like dried leaves 

I have no 

no power 

I have no strength 

I have been blown away 

like a daffodil on a windy day 

like a soft kind petal 

see, I have fallen 

into a puddle of mud 

and I am stuck 

do not speak to me 

about your worries 

for I have worries of my own 

and I can only handle the weight of myself upon my shoulders 

speak to me once more and watch these cracks grow bigger 

but I will not say a thing 

because I am kind 

so I will put up with it 

and act like I am fine 

because you don't care of my problems 

you care of your own 

even though you know 

that I might shrivel up 

and dry

like the leaves in fall
