The Hand I Need

One day I am living life without fear Next thing you know nothings clear My thought are scrambled at their best That I'd break they would have never guessed Yet there's been one voice from the start Saying, " Pull yourself together don't fall apart " Going from a life that's been lived numb Now making sacrifices for more then one Going against some things in which I believe Because another's life I just can't leave It was once easy to just walk away But nothings even close to the same today I was taught many years ago Hide your feelings don't let them show People are mean and most don't care If you leave or if your there But from all experiences we must learn If it's bad don't take a second turn Never show your whole hand Until you know just where you stand So I turn to the pages I write To calm myself and help me sleep at night Then I get up and try all over again Refusing to surrender or give in This all will make no sense to you But it's this helping hand that gets me through!
