What Can We DO?

We always want to give the best to the one closest to us
To the spouses
To the lovers
To the closest friends
It is ever so noble to be so sacrificial
Until the sleepless nights come
The stressful days arrive
The walls are closing in
The moments of melt down nigh
We collapse in our own quests.

We want to be the strong one, mighty and responsible us
Providing a shelter over the heads
Providing food at the table
Providing financial to make ends meet
It is not important what is beneficial
Until our health crumble, and go into slump
Until there is no more strength to strive
All there is, is the thoughts of complaints
Of all things that don't seem right
We fail in our own tests.

We give everything up for others
And keep nothing for our own sake
We find our joy in their happiness
And deprive ourselves of truth
We portray to the world, close perfection
And covering the voids, with brutal silence
The voids getting so humongous, it is unbearable
The lies become so out of proportion, it became reality
The world become larger than life, it became an universe
We are on the trial of a suicidal watch.

What can we do, if we fall and wither?
What can we do, to cover up others' mistakes?
What can we do, if we can't erase the sadness?
What can we do, if the world is unjust and cruel?
What can we do, with so much of our emotions?
What can we do, if we decide to throw ourselves off balance?
What can we do, to be fully accountable?
What can we do, to overcome all life's brutality?
What can we do, if we cast upon ourselves, the curse?
What can we do for others, if we don't want to do for ourselves first?
