Help me I am struggling
She tells me to be grateful
My friends claim I’m incapable of
Falling like a fly
But they know nothing about my life
They will never know of the cuts on my heart
And her blunt, deep lies
They will never understand that I cannot act on a whim
My heartstrings are tumbling
My thoughts are bubbling
My anger and frustration
Have helped me play the beats to these drums
My guitar and the drums
Me and my heart can never be one
I wish I could be myself
I just want some fun
I need to play my guitar
Thrumming my frustration
With my thumbs
Playing this melody
Is and will never be fun
Acting out on a whim,
Just can’t be done.
