Truth be Told

To be expected to perform the impossible.
Bending, shaping,
still...not enough.

Standing up in the face of adversity
against the odds
Fierce in the face of the unknown

Relationships start to implode
when they learn their real place
on the totem pole

and other priorities must come first.
We all think we are the only ones who matter
We all cry when we realize we never really did.
