I am someone who— Anyone can rely on, A shoulder to cry on, A sail to carry them on, Through the worst of times, Any time. But when it’s my turn To face the tide, There’s no one by my side. I have a heart— That can forgive anyone and anything, Any number of times, Over and over. But never once could it forgive, If it was I who made the mistake.

A Sail for Others, Adrift Myself
I am someone who— Anyone can rely on, A shoulder to cry on, A sail to carry them on, Through the worst of times, Any time. But when it’s my turn To face the tide, There’s no one by my side. I have a heart— That can forgive anyone and anything, Any number of times, Over and over. But never once could it forgive, If it was I who made the mistake.
Why can I never catch a break? Why do I never get a chance when I plead for one?
