Maintain
Wire stretched painfully thin,
Standing on the brink;
The load has become too heavy,
Trembling from the weight --
Maintain, maintain;
Hold it together, sister,
Remember you are strong --
That is what they tell you;
Keep it hidden,
Let nothing show,
They need to think they're right;
Forget your own pathetic need,
You are only here for them;
Paste that smile upon your face,
Ignore the pain,
Ignore the signs --
Maintain, maintain;
Swallow futile medicine,
Weep muffled sobs at night,
Plead for help in solitude --
Maintain, little girl .....
Maintain.

The spirit can only withstand so much before it breaks, but with the right support and guidance one can turn their life around... leaving the past behind, and saying goodbye to those monsters is the first step towards better days! Life is for living!!!
