The Fixer

Everyone’s got a problem
Responsibility falls on me to solve them
Becoming a weight not easily carried
A heavy feeling that I’ve since buried 

When it should surface I become unstable
Punching the walls until my hands are un-able
Echoing claps of my fists hitting the wood
Resonating pain through my bones as I stood

So share all of your issues 
I’m here to fix you
It’s just another skeleton in my closet
An endless drip from a leaky faucet.
