Breathe

“You bring me down”

Is that not my biggest fear?

The worst four words

These ears can hear.

I am worthless

This I know to be true.

But I had hoped

You’d not know it too.

I tried to be all

Everything you want and need

I’ve given everything

I’ve lost all of me.

But it’s not enough;

I guess I never really am.

I should have known

It’s just who I am.

It pains me to think

That I bring you down;

You’d be better off

If I’m not around.

I’m so scared

Of letting life go.

There’s so much to do

So much to know.

My head under water

Just relax for a while

What I would do

To see you smile…
