Strong For Too Long
Everything is circling around, suffocating.
Out of the pot and into the frying pan day in and day out.
While people focus on themselves and their own selfishness as society has created, others drown in their own strength and weakness.
Depended on, with no one to depend on.
Going from happy to no longer wanting to be here.
Being crushed by the weight of everything on their shoulders.
For how much longer are they expected to be strong without breaking? How much longer are they expected to take until their once bright light that has dimmed, is no more?
Who can rescue the strong?
Who can save the depended on?
When they're at their breaking point and don't know how to stop or fix themselves anymore.

A powerful piece of existential angst...and it rings loudly with truth.
