The Strong

Common sense makes us dizzy
How could you get used to
Washing my blood from my feet
Taping me back together
Holding my hand as I bleed
We're surely offbeat
How to endure the wish to hold
someone trembling on the bathroom floor
Hurting from the past
Where there's nothing you can change
When it's too late to save
Just something to outlast
Just something in the common day of mine
You have to be a part of
To what you had to adjust
And carry me on
When my legs fail me
And again I scrape of the crust
To find me bleeding once more
How did you endure
Too see your own offspring break this much
And find your hands unable to heal
How much strength does it take
To be my crutch?

And how do you manage?
It's a mystery to me
Since now we've both been in so far
Running on the last slice of energy
Walking on to the excessive
To carry more must be bizarre
Yet you do it everyday
Your strength is impressive
And that's how you are
