I still feel crazy sometimes. This carefully-woven intricate illusion of sanity, Of I’ve-got-it-together Could ravel apart with one small tug. Catch the edges before they split. Shore up the sea wall before the waves overcome it. By trusting, I shore up the wall a little more. Someone else bears a tiny bit of my burden, But is it too much to ask? Easier to carefully apply the smile, the bright, happy eyes. I shall not cause you to suffer as I have suffered. My pain is my own.... |
