Cranes

POem by Madeline Campbell from Collegiate SMB

On days when the cranes in the clouds 

Construct buildings upon my chest 

My strength is not tested 

But broken 

 

For even cranes and foundations will break 

And as much as I convince myself 

That I can withhold their weight 

I will still get crushed

 

I am sick of being strong 

I am weaker than ever from being strong 

I want peace and protection 

Not chaos and destruction 

 

I am sick of being strong 

I am weaker than ever from being strong 

For the cranes have crushed 

Every bone in my body 

Time and time again
