Description
My back broke under the weight of theexpectations I had
for you.
I saw you not as you are
but as flawed as
I am.
We are who we pretend to be
and I have worn the mask of tragedy
for far
too
long.
So great are our tears
yet so small our sufferings.
-D.E.M

The first stanza is fantastic, and the entire poem is a powerful statement.
