Everyone's always come to me With their troubles and their woes. Because of my experience, They assume I'm the one who knows. And I don't mind a single bit, I want to help those I love. But there's a secret I keep close, One that no one knows of... There's a good reason I tell no one, Because I'm sure it wouldn't be good. I'm afraid of some of them taking their life, And I'm sure that others would. Sometimes I hate the responsibility, I'm sixteen-freakin'-years-old. And other times I just wrap my arms around it, I can take being the one who holds. I've dealt with warring parents, I've dealt with lying kin. I know how to diffuse a fist-fight, I know how to illogically reason. I can dodge a flying plate, And tackle an irrational man. I've seen too much of the dark side of life, But if life's a poker game, this is my hand. I don't want anyone to stop asking for help, I'm always glad to give it. But sometimes I feel my armor crack, I can feel someone make a divot. All I need is someone strong, Someone who will do their best. To help me carry the responsibility, My work is constant, I don't get to rest. And it's not always a demon, Sometimes it's a blessing. When I get to see someone walk away, It's myself that I've stopped second-guessing. I know what I'm talking about, And usually I'm sure. If it will do more harm than good, It's my demon, my burden, my pleasure. I've stopped fighting my inner demons... we're on the same side now. |

I SO DEFINETLY relate, There was no consistant rythmn I saw but it was fabulous for the uneven bits and the words. I do relate so much, I don't want anyone to stop coming to me but I wish someone could help me or I could s hare it but its worth it helping them. You conveyed some really strong emotions in this piece |
