What has been on my mind
Is weighing me down
I try to feel alright
But mostly wear a frown
I look up to the sky
And pray to feel fine
Knowing I can't keep this inside
So I call a friend
And explain to him what's going on
He talks to me gently
And I don't feel quite as torn
Thanks to others who are patient
That has a good deal of compassion
They are healers
And miracle workers
To be that unselfish
And a gentle speaker
Thanks to them I'll be okay
They know exactly what to say
I just hope one day
I'll be able to be a good listener
And give back what was freely given
