Sometimes I feel like Humpty Dumpty

Sitting upon that giant wall.

As everyone depends on my strength.

Forgetting I am only an egg,

fragile and very capable of breaking.

But still they depend

Never noticing I am starting to rock back and forth

unstable and very close to tipping over.

Then all of a sudden I fall

Hurtling toward oblivion

Reaching out for hands

that never seem to reach back for me.

And i release one final scream

As I feel myself crack against the ground.

But then I hear them calling out for me,

My ear

My advice

My support

My strength...

I must slowly piece myself back together

and climb the wall once again

only to begin the cycle all over

But where is my Humpty Dumpty?
