Building
While you are trying to acquire your millions
I am trying to build our foundation
You are so focused on your plans
You seem to forget about ours
Seem to forget about me
I try to stay positive
Try to be assertive
Aggressive
Rational
I try to ignore my loneliness
But then I just become frustrated
When I realize I am still building on my own
When we started
Us being the best was your first priority
Since we started
Us keeping it together has become your last
I feel as if we are grasping for straws
Hanging on to something that has long gone
And even though my back aches from bending
My mind is exhausted from thinking
And my hands have contusions from building
I continue to pile brick upon brick
Continue to smooth the cement to keep us together
I work through my doubts
Work through my fears
Ignore my weariness
Brush away my silent tears
I build for you
If only you would grab a shovel and build for us
