Why Am I Responsible?

"Why am I responsible?"
Because you're the most responsible.
Because you care the most.
Because if no one else does it, you will.
Because they know you will.

Because you assume they're incompetent.
Because you don't ask.
Because you don't tell.
Because you assume they don't care.
Because they don't; not as much as you.

Sacrifice

If it were your life or mine,
I can't promise
I wouldn't sacrifice
yours
to save my own.

Struggling. I feel a need to legitimately call out the problem(s), but I don't want to be the one screaming and pointing fingers.

I won't deny that I love you
and have loved you
I am expressly happy where I am
and whatever innate bond we share
may be powerful, but I will not
let it destroy this.

What do I do with you?

"Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end."

I don't know what your defining as "okay"
I don't know what your defining as "the end"
But you have a good chance of being okay
Before and at times other than
the end
And you have a good chance of reaching
the end
At a time that is not okay


It's not that I'm overly pessimistic, I'm just overly realistic.

Girl, You Disgust Me

You disgust me
You flaunt what you think is success
You flaunt what is ill-gotten
and untrue
You whore yourself to the camera
For some hopeful ounce of fame

What you have is self-confidence
forged in the heart of starvation,
Brazen arrogance
pulled from the lust of broken men,
Self-importance
declared in the name of Grand Self.

Do you not see
what what you take
to get where you are
will also be
taken from you?

Do you not comprehend
what you give to gain
the things you have
will be given
unto another?
