Rocky

They expect me to be their rock
An indestructible being
A man with limited feelings
Yet still provide hope and healing

They expect me to be their rock
Cut their tension with my fake laughs
Live my life wearing a damn mask
A permanent smile and sturdy back

Because they expect me to be their rock
Shoulder all of their burdens
Submerge myself in their pain
With no complaints while I’m hurting

They expect me to be their rock
But who’s looking out for me
When the day falls and I can’t sleep
Because my mind is filled with their shortcomings

But I’m supposed to be your rock
You have no clue what I go through
You have no idea what I’ve been through
All that matters is that I’m there for you

Who’s supposed to be my rock?
When it’s 4 am and I’m breaking down
When I want to scream but can’t make a sound
Attempting to keep my spirits up while tears hit the ground

So who’s supposed to be my rock?
