Reaching

Disappointing my friends and family
I disappoint myself

I'm having trouble taking care of me
I feel it in my health

If I was who I claim I am I could turn the other cheek
I must have been wrong

Running away now proves I am week
It's hard to be strong

It doesn't take strength to back away
I haven't given up

When I take a look, it's not so hard to say 
There's something in my cup
