Safe

They broke the foundation, removed the blindfold, and pushed me far.
the weight of the world falls into the
laps of the ones who made me this way.
we play this game, and shift the blame,
and change its name, to "keep one another safe".
we swallow pride,
our doors blown wide, and now we're waiting by the hour.
we rip and tear ourselves apart,
and then we're stripped of any context, but why?
the same rules apply: if you think youre fine,
i won't call it a lie, but where's that leave us?
who've done all we can?
wrecked our lives to reach a goal we
weren't built for and now we're slowly healing?
