Inside
Inside I’m breaking
Yet outside I smile
I haven’t been okay
No, not for a while
A weight on my back
That mom gave away
Work, eat, sleep, repeat
That’s her struggle each day
My own daily struggle
Consists of mom’s work
Not the one she drives to
But the one without perks
I act as the mom
While she’s not here
Taking care of the kids
My mind becomes unclear
I can’t think straight
Can’t focus in school
I try my best at home
But my fire’s out of fuel
I’ve tried telling mom
That I can’t take any more
She just sits and cries
So I just shut the door
Then at night, I sit
And it’s just my luck
That no tears will come
I try but I’m stuck
I’ve been stuck lately
With this job on my back
No tears here to help
I’m on a one-way track
So now I head deeper
Into my own dark
I want to get out
And regain my spark
I just let it happen
My fall never-ending
Because inside I’m broken
And far beyond mending
