Please
Please, I don't want to be weak.
I don't want to be the one who relies on others.
Who uses another to help with my feelings.
Who needs others to survive through the night.
Please, I want to be independent.
I desire to be strong.
I can survive by myself, alone.
I really don't need your help.
Please understand that I'm saying all this.
Telling lies through your head.
It hurts to be strong,
but I need to be stong.
Life finds so many ways to bring you down.
So many ways to hurt you now.
I've been strong, but it's all empty inside.
Please stay, I need your help.
