If I Admit It

How am I supposed to take care of you

when I can’t take care of myself?



How am I supposed to love you

when I can’t even love me too?



How am I supposed to expect the best

when I can’t even get things off my chest?



How am I supposed to put up a fight

when I don’t even know what’s right?



How am I supposed to smirk

when I know things won’t work?



How am I supposed to peak

when all I feel is weak?



How am I supposed to roll the dice

when I don’t even think I can make the sacrifice?



How am I supposed to love

when you can’t rise above?



How am I supposed to rise above the obstacles ahead

when I just feel dead?



How am I supposed to think it’s worth it

when nothing feels perfect?
