Foundation

Beneath it quietly lies,
Hidden by a disguise,
One who constantly tries.
Yet, cracks widen in size.

Worry, as time flies.
You say it’s unwise.
I counter,
It’s my compromise.

Instead, my own demise.
Ignoring internal cries
Sanity can only surmise:
I can’t escape cloudy skies,
Numb to my own lies.
