I don't need your help
I am me, and you are you
I am in conflict, don't inflict

I don't need your help
help just ruins, more undoings
help will hamper, go scamper.


                                                      ­                                                We can help
                                                            ­             We are here for you and you
                                                             ­               We shall assist, don't resist

                                                         ­                                             We can help
                                   help shows us our weaknesses, we aren't geniuses
         help reminds us that we aren't superhuman, we are only human.

I lay silently yet I am interrupted so abruptly
I act passively but I am tossed around aggressively
I go on haphazardly though I am shaken carelessly
I think lately... would it have been better if I were lonely?

We don't talk much
but rest assured
                                        that this silence between us
                                                         lies the
                                 wind, dust, sound waves, light, dark;
                                                                                                             all these
                                                         connect my unwavering love for you.

I am here
Am I not?
It seems you forgot

I am here
Do I not exist?
Please, I insist

I am here
Helping all around
Yet treated as if six feet in the ground.

Do you think I can do it?
I see that I cannot.

Are you there to help?
I feel as if I’m in an empty ***.

To you, am I a mere burden?
I sense that I’m just extra baggage, runt of the lot.      

Apparently you tell me I need to handle this myself?
Although I would just like a hug, it would mean a lot.

But in the end, this conversation? this plea? this cry?
It was all for naught.

Day by day
I face the wretched nightmare of reality
No matter what I do
Nothing would ever change
The problems with no solutions
The diseases with no cures
The injustice with no justice

Day by day
I wake up just to find out that this nightmare won't end
That some people don't want to change anything
That some people think they can't change anything
That some people can't change anything
I ask myself the same question each day
What is there to do and live for?

Day by day
I walk around just to see the land plagued with injustice
Scales tipped on one side
Eyes tainted with a filter
Mouths operated through a script
Minds controlled by someone or something

Day by day
I go back home reflecting
on the undying evil lurking in the shadows
Why does it even exist
Why won't it leave me alone
Why do I deserve this

Today
No matter how dark it may be
Lighten up the place
If the light fades and dies
Change it again and again
Until you find the one that will last
One that will light up with a purpose
To be the everlasting light of the day
