Caring ways of innocence
Resilience fades. Time moves on,
Putting on a brave face for those around.
I'm asked why the "we" and "I" when speaking of self—
Putting safe before all else.
If loved ones knew I'm draining dry,
There is no perfect way to answer why.
My words expressed... stolen by the stress.
Pushing on... a weight that comes perched... a place that it regains.
The hell of an empathetic mind.
I long so much for brighter rays,
To care in ways of innocence.
