SUPPOSED TO DO

cried so many times
because i thought
i would not make it.
tried to figure out
life's rhythms and its rhymes
but somehow
had to fake it.
hurt so bad
my fragile heart
bruised, torn and battered
the remnants of my world
lay shattered and scattered
on display
for all to see
hid the truth deep in
my soul
i was alone
just me.
tell me
what was i supposed
to do
when i'm the one
that no one knew.
