I can't sleep at night
And I can't focus during the day
I have too much to do and never enough time
But it's not my issues that haunt me
No matter what, I'll carry on
I can endure whatever may be thrown at me
It is not my own burdens that eat at me
Nor my own problems that erode my will
But the issues of others.
The simple fact is
I cannot bear their problems for them
Though I try.
And the ones I love, those I care for most
Are destroyed by what they must carry
So what keeps me up at night
Is knowing I am not enough
For them.
