Hello there You Sitting in the corner grumbling about your health Would you listen? I need some help It’s hard holding up the world all by myself When you bother to look up do you realize my shoulders aren’t a shelf You can’t pile things on top of me and expect me not to crumble My legs are weak I’m starting to stumble May I have some support Not your usual retort I understand I must be stronger I don't think I can hold on much longer May I lay on you Simply a word or two Just a brief relief A second of peace If not I understand But please would you take my hand So I know where to go On such a slippery slope Where is the dry land I'm being buried please understand The weight in this muck I'm losing my luck Back bent eyes closed Its up to my throat I have nowhere to go
