How I Feel

All good things must come to an end
And when that happens, you find your true friends
They’re there with you through ups and downs
They’re there with you through smiles and frowns
But in my life, I don’t know who’s real 
Because I have so much to deal with
My best friend is my cousin Sh’Quon
He helps me through whatever goes on
I can cry
I can pout
He knows exactly
What I’m about

I want everything to end
I'm tired of how much I have to pretend
That everything in my life is going well
When in my heart I really want to yell
I need one of the greatest hugs
From someone I trust and love
I want to be held until my fears are let go
So through this I can let myself know
I have to stop blaming
I have to stop accusing
Because through it all
I feel like I'm losing

I'm scared of what will happen next
I can’t talk through IM I can’t even text
I don’t want to talk to anyone else
Because I know, I put it all on myself
I need someone I can trust and depend on
And I believe I found it in my cousin Sh’Quon
Because he’s the only one that I can share with
He’s the only one my age who cares
I need to just write
To let it all go
I need to be held
And that just goes to show

I can’t believe I just talk to Sh’Quon
I cant even open up like that to my mom
I'm scared and there’s no where to hide
So I put all the pain and fear on the inside
I wish I could just let it go
But I'm holding on too tight and I don’t want it to show
Can I just run and run to a place
Where I can stay and not see anyone’s face
I need to let go
I need to run
I need to do something
To get this over and done

People tell me to write so that’s what I'm doing
I need to draw but who am I fooling
I can’t do it no more I want to give up
My cup runneth over, I wish, there’s nothing in my cup
This burden's too heavy to lift and to bear
I got 100% of people saying that they’ll be there
I can’t let this go I can’t shake it off
I'm too close hell and it’s getting too hot
Can I give up?
Can I run away?
Yea right, man I wish
Because that’ll be the day
