I do things on my own
I begin and I succeed
I fix my problems on my own
I make whatever I need.

Recognize my talent
I am all I've ever needed
I am, in my lonesome, sufficient
What I attempt, I succeed at.

A decade later, that's your reason
For believing I had it all under control
For believing I had it all in  hand
While I struggled not to lose.

"You never needed help, you never asked
You did everything alone."
I never wanted help but I needed it
"I didn't know, I didn't know."

I am no longer self sufficient
I'm fighting just to breathe
I don't want help even though I need it
I never want anyone to see

That I broke my own cycle
I tried and I lost myself
My fortress is cracked, vulnerable
And I've no one to blame but myself.

I am no longer self sufficient
But I still won't ask for help.
