Is that something in your eye
or is there too much that worries you?
Don’t let your burdens bury you,
they are too heavy to hide,
look at my scars from them crawling inside,
it weighed down my soul,
it rooted my feet,
it climbed up my spine,
inched across my tongue
before I swallowed it down,
I didn’t want to breathe it into existence,
I don’t want to hurt anyone.
It hurts me to see you hurting,
I can handle whatever you can give me,
just give me something,
so we can help you be
with us.
I have been you,
I know what to do,
because of those who saw
past my eyes,
and knew how I smiled
when I lied.
You can cry,
I want to see what worries you.
