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?
