Check on Me

Check on me

Once in a while

As I choke

On your fake smiles

Take the time

To think of me

Before you speak

Bitter as a lime

To me I proclaim

Another promise

To just myself

Never to show my shame

Can't you spare

A minute or two

To stop yourselves

So I don't puke

It can't be so

You all will say

If I ever do decide

To let myself go cold

.................................................

Check on me
