It's Mine

A trying time

A new time has come upon us,

where have you gone?

Have you grown too old to talk

to me?

Or are you just too strong?

Where has the time gone?

Where do we stand?

I sorrow through your troubles,

but can't you see?

Have you been through what

I'm facing?

I don't believe that is so.

Don't let me go,

I'll push you out,

but, really, all I want is for

someone to call me out.

For someone to see through the act.

Through my smile.

For I am the best on the worst of days.

And sometimes I cry, but I know

when somebody calls my bluff,

I'll be okay.

Suffice, you will be too, I say.
