I Once Was

I am the strong. I am the brave. I am the proud. I am the protecter.

I am what I can no longer be. I want to still guide my friends. To help them, but how can I when I can’t even help myself?

Life seems to hit me all at once. I can’t take it a day at a time. I pile my schedule to block what I should deal with. I’ve blocked it so well and for so long that I don’t know what the problem is. Only that there is a problem and that I am swinging blindly at a target just out of my reach.

I'm always confused and I cry when I can't take it anymore. Maybe it's a bit babyish, but I don't care. Sometimes the tears flow and I just can't make them stop.
