Building

While you are trying to acquire your millions I am trying to build our foundation You are so focused on your plans You seem to forget about ours Seem to forget about me I try to stay positive Try to be assertive Aggressive Rational I try to ignore my loneliness But then I just become frustrated When I realize I am still building on my own When we started Us being the best was your first priority Since we started Us keeping it together has become your last I feel as if we are grasping for straws Hanging on to something that has long gone And even though my back aches from bending My mind is exhausted from thinking And my hands have contusions from building I continue to pile brick upon brick Continue to smooth the cement to keep us together I work through my doubts Work through my fears Ignore my weariness Brush away my silent tears I build for you If only you would grab a shovel and build for us
