Please EVERYONE stop feeling for me,
I want to feel for myself.

I know you care and you want what is best for me,
But honestly I can hardly breathe,
With your hands on my shoulder,
Head next to head,
Whispering how I should live MY life?
I make my own decisions,
And frankly I make pretty **** good ones.
So LEAVE ME ALONE!

Stop being offended for me.
I actually am quite strong,
And despite my lack in confidence,
I'm not too blind to see
When someone is just joking around with me.
So before you get moody please talk to me first,
I'm sure it will be better than bottling it up.

Stop soothing things that don't need to be,
If I need your opinion I'll ask.
Just because you need to fix yourself,
Does NOT mean that you have to drag me down,
Right next to you,
Especially when I'm already,
Barely,
Staying above water.
It seems like every time I can maybe breathe,
Someone just wants to rip that away from me.

I know you care,
I know you want to make sure I'm okay,
But sometimes it makes me worse.
And I'm sorry for every lashing out,
I guess I have things to work on too.
Maybe if we can all just talk things out,
We wouldn't all feel so blue.
Let'a start over, can we please?
My name is Morgan,
Sometimes I need help,
And I'll let you know when that will be.
Just be here when I need you,
And I'll do the same.
We can use each other's shoulders to cry on,
Just as long as we're not casting pain
