Faith (Spiral)

Faith

I have always found it easier to have faith in others than I had in myself
Not that I tried to let people see that, I wanted to appear strong for them
I wanted them to have that strength when deep down I needed it

it is something that can only be sustained for so long
When you try to be a place of comfort for another
You eventually try to ask for that in return

The illusion of strength is suddenly gone
The protection that was there is now shaken
What has been built has now been changed

When I cannot have faith in myself
How can I expect you to have that faith back
The downward spiral begins again
