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!
