BREAKING MY OWN HEART?

why am I breaking my own heart?


I already love my fellow creatures

(albeit with the proverbial pinch of salt)


and I let go the ones too far gone for help

they must straighten themselves and can't)


but to try to be more than I can be

for the sake of some unforgiving maniac


threatening my death if I don't get in line...

no...that's where we part company and I find out


for myself if my own goodness is worth

all that others put on it...if that's so


then I've truly failed miserably...


better to be for myself...it's the only way

I can be there for others...or doesn't God understand?
