I Stand

i stand. 
i stumble. 
i fall.

where are you? 
where are you?
shouldnt you be catching me as i try to walk?

you should be,
but your not,
so i stand, i stumble, i fall. 

i shake.
i hide.
i cry.

where are you?
where are you?
shouldnt you be holding me as i open up?

you should be,
but your not,
so i stand, i stumble, i fall.
