Can you help some one who's ill
When you know it's not physical
It hides in his oblivious mind
Cleverness making it hard to find
I tried to confront it he won't admit
He knows how to hide behind all his wit
Family and friends don't know how to deal
As his frustrating anger is so hard to feel
Enabled because they cannot cope
He intimidates their need for hope
He has no courage within his own heart
Denial keeps him from falling apart
Unable to admit a possible weakness
It's buried within his own sneakiness
When in reality if he could only see
The more courageous he would be
To face his fears and set himself free

Unable to admit a possible weakness
It's buried within his own sneakiness
When in reality if he could only see
The more courageous he would be
To face his fears and set himself free
