I'll never know unless I'm taught.
So, teach me how to dance.
Teach me how to knit.
Teach me how to fish.
Teach me how to cook.
Teach me how to clean.
Teach me how to draw.
Teach me how to play a game.
Teach me how to talk properly.
Teach me how to follow instructions.
But if you teach me that if I go anywhere but with you I'll die, I won't listen.
We all know it isn't true.

You know how,
When you're sick
You can't breathe
You're tired
And everything hurts?

Well that's about how I feel most days
But I'm not allowed to show it
I cry
Not only because I feel alone

I see others out there
Not knowing what to do

You say
You have something to offer

Please come to my
Windowpane and tap lightly

As the devil
Stands on my welcome mat

Beating down the door

What do I do, do I invite him in
To begin another round of chaos

Or do I wait for your gentle rap
On my windowpane

Please forgive me my failures
And my tendency to cry
When there is nothing sad about here,
When everything is alright.
I cannot explain my sadness.
I cannot explain my tears.
I cannot explain my reason for
Inventing irrational fears.
I do not hope you will accept them,
For I still fight them everyday.
I only wish that you be brave
And decide not to run away.
