have i given
too much of myself
away?
maybe i'm breaking at
the seams
and it seems
i am worse off
than i thought
bottled up my problems
now they're leaking
from the top
thought i had some me
to spare
that there was enough of me
to share
but i gave myself away
and now i sit
in a hollow shell
wallowing in
my own personal hell
tried to make people feel at home
but all i am is skin and bone
people are not meant
to be made into homes
the base of humans
is fragile bones
there is no concrete
to keep me steady
when life starts
to get too heavy
i built my home upon the sand
but it seems the walls wouldn't
stand
if you're going to make
a human your home
maybe you should
be your own
because until you have
a strong foundation
you can't attempt
to be someone else's
salvation
because the foolish man built
his house on the sand
the foolish man made a home
out of man.
