The Promise

from JoeUser Forums
There is someone inside
or a small part of
someone
trying to break through

all the responsibilities
the selflessness
the duties
have attempted
to smother him.

They don't know he's
in there
and they probably don't care

but I do

so I find the cracks
in the pavement
and I chip away at
them

making them bigger
making it easier for
whoever is in there

to spring forth

maybe it's a demon
from Hell

maybe it's a rose

maybe it's just dirt and bugs

but if I don't do this
I'll never know

and the world may not
be better for it

but trying to take care
of the world is
just making it worse
anyways

so

hang tight
whoever you are

I'm coming
for you.
