"To Rise Above"

Do your best...

Handle the stuff within your life

Don't force it upon others

Because if they end up taking it within their hands

They control it.

Leaving you with no actions to take

Or any say on what is kept

And what is thrown away

Though it may not be your intention

When fault is not claimed

Though not automatic...

The burden is passed on

Placed and carried upon the shoulders of another

Actions fail...

And words are wrapped in barbed wire

Circles are made around the same moment

When all I desperately need is a straight line

Leading away from this what holds me still

So if you want upset

And anger...

Then push a loyal person to the brink...

Upon the edge of where they no longer care

I've done my best

And I no longer know if I have the strength

To rise above the bigger person...

I have already been.
