Please please I need you here
if not to hold me
then to remind me
that I'm not the only one left
when the sun goes down
that I can still survive
I can beat my own mind
I'm not alone
I've got my soul
and no one can rip that out of me
it's who I am and it is mine
all that matters is I stay true to who
I want to be
and not revert to the old me
I can't fade back into that sad
depressive state
I can't take the constant thoughts
nagging me they're always
too much or not enough
and I swore that I would stay here
and push on for this empty cause
we're all plagued with
and I know that I'm not perfect
sometimes I almost turn back
but if you grab me by the wrist
tell me "darling you're better than this"
I promise I will try
