Asking for help is hard
Admitting I need a hand
Gets easily caught in my throat
People tell me I am strong
Then why do I feel so weak
The day can turn in the blink of an eye
Leaving me afraid of my shadow
Fear overwhelming me
And I am left searching
The small list of friends I have
And who I think can assist me
From letting the darkness take over
Will you give of your time today
Or am I as alone as I feel
