I've held you up

For so long.

You've needed me to stand.

But I'm growing weaker,

And I can no longer hold us both.

I've always been there for you,

But you abused me.

Controlled me,

Isolated me.

I was not your crutch,

I was your rope,

As you dangled on the cliff of insanity.

I can't be your rope anymore.

I don't want to let you fall,

But

I must.

&quot;At this moment, there are 6 billion, 4 hundred, 71 million, 8 hundred, 18 thousand, 6 hundred, 71 people in the world. Some are running scared.. some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day.. others are just now facing the truth. Some are evil men at war with good, and some are good.. struggling with evil. 6 billion people in the world, 6 billion souls -- and sometimes.. all you need is 1.&quot;
