We All Need Help

I smile when I'm with you
I cry when I'm alone at night
Nothing in this world scares me 
But my own thoughts give me a fright

I need a new mindset, Please teach me to erase
Memories that hurt me, and thoughts that keep me awake 
My pen is crying, and my heart is bleeding 
My mouth is quiet because my scars are speaking 

I'm fighting depression and healing some wounds I suffered
I'm just trying to find a way to rest in peace before I'm 6 feet under 
I want to give love another chance, and forgive past lovers
I hope I always speak my mind without fear and don't stutter 

I'm trying to find the courage to face my demons and not get cold feet
I just wish I had someone to be strong for me in moments when I'm weak
I've shared too much of my heart with people who didn't care to hold it
I had the courage to play with a hand that most would fold with

I've made many wrong turns, I just need a little direction 
I'm trying to stay positive and not give in to this depression 
This is a big world and I'm still not sure where I belong 
But I'm trying to correct all of my wrongs 

We all need help at times and I'm no different 
But when I need help, people seem to go missing 
I'm just trying my best with the cards I've been dealt
But I'd be lying if I said I don't need some help
