People you may know

you demand complexity 
your heart’s bored 
as if people were a problem 
that could be solved 

they’re well put together 
maybe not 
you always get to a point 
where they fall apart 

then you’re smug 
how strong you are 
kindness/weakness
it’s never enough 

as you’ve always known 
you’ve got to be tough
heart’s just a muscle 
that wants to work out
