You Cannot Break Down

You cannot break down.

When everyone else is expecting you.

You cannot break down,

When someone else is relying on you.

You cannot break down,

When there are those dependent on your

thoughts.

You cannot break down.

When you're a role model

to someone so young.

You cannot break down or you will break

his future.

No selfishness can explain what

atrocity it is.

But I cannot hold back any

more any

longer.

Time shall bleed me out I can tell

where I burn bridges

along

with all your pleas

demanding more.
