I’m trying

I often lie awake at night

And wonder what you think 

I wish that I could hear your thoughts

They might help me not sink

 

There’s always this pit in my stomach

Fibro, depression, all hard to fight

I know I’m a hard person to love

But you seem to do it right

 

I couldn’t be any more afraid

That I will scare you away

If you could hear my thoughts

I wonder what you’d say

 

I’m trying to be open and honest

But I know it hurts you to see me in pain

I wish I could give you everything

But it would probably drive you insane
