Am I a penny
compared to your dime?
Are they worth so much more
of your time?
I ask myself
why do I bother trying?
'I am okay', no
I am lying
But I just keep on
walking and smiling
Holding back tears
so I don't burst crying
A rollercoaster
I'm riding
My side of the rope
untying
The burning furnace
firing
My grip slipping and
sliding
On the inside slowly
dying.
