The Chronicles of a Middleman

Poem written February 4th, 2016

Is this what I was meant for?

Is this what I must do?

Crying, crying, slowly dying

Speaking up but feeling numb

Losing friends, losing my sanity

Doing things out of need for morality

Is this how I get even?

Is this how I get to heaven?

Well, I’ll be in purgatory at best

I fear I will never, ever pass this test

A situation of life and death

A situation of death and life

Waiting without words,

Waiting to be hurt.

I’ll take the pain, I’ll take the blame

To keep those I love sane again

Confessing, hardly speaking

My heart- my feelings are bleeding

My life, my being, is slowly receding

Stressed, depressed, anxious- ugly

Sad, tired, and faceless without name

I know in my heart, I’d do it again
