I’m amazed at people.
What have I done?
You think that you could handle yourself so much better?
Do you honestly believe that you would do what’s right?
What is right?
Who are you to judge?
Your opinion and my opinion won’t match up.
Have they ever?
Have we ever completely agreed?
I’m shocked...
To think that someone whom I count on so much
Can’t even express to me what they think...
Can’t even come to me about MY mistakes.
Instead you hover at a distance,
Hold your head high,
And judge my actions.
Like you could do so much better with my life.
Like you could reach perfection.
As if you could really be me.
Experience my emotion.
Get inside my mind.
And tremble at what you discover.
There is no way to imitate me.
There is no way to predict me.
So you cannot say that you know best.
Confront me for once!
Stand up for yourself.
Stop making ME come to YOU.
I’m tired of being the foundation.
As you allow me to crumble...do you realize what you’ve done?
As I fall apart - so do you.
As I tumble down - so does all we stand for.
Will you allow it so easily?
So readily?
Accept my demise?
I fear that you will.
I’m scared of what you’ll do.
Or...what you won’t do...

...for me.
