I know I am the burden
The weight of heavy stone
Annoyance and regret
The strain of splinted bone
Mishap and misfortune
Broken record prone
If only I could find a way
To lift this weary load

To you I am frustration
My mirror suggests disgust
I wish my presence meant relief
A face that displays trust

I understand such hesitation
Avoidance at the helm
For why would I expect conviction
When I can't even trust myself?
