One single soul can only width-hold,
Functioning as others' strength for so long,
Until the built up overwhelming pain becomes unbearable,
Crashing down so wildly,
Shattering like a crystal wine glass hitting the solid concrete floor,

That single being,
The one who once was the strength for many broken souls,
Fades helplessly into one of the,
Scarred souls,
Needing the strength of another,
To help them through their agonizing pain.
