I put my friends before me
Stay up all night to meet their needs
Even when I suspect their lying
I like to hangout, so I try hiding
No matter how many times someone can betray me
I will not crumble down, they cannot break me
But just because I cannot break down
Doesn't mean that I can't frown
It doesn't mean I cannot cry
It doesn't mean I cannot sigh
It doesn't mean I have no heart
I am still human, sadly, but I am just the start
There are so many others with growing pains
My friends pains grow every day
And no matter what I do to try and heal their heart
Their pain grows further, until one day, they stop
This is why I don't let myself cry
This is why I don't let myself sigh
Because if I cry, sigh or shout
I will crumble to those who cannot get out
I cannot let myself be hurt, I have it so good!
A great family, full stomach, all of the goods...
I cannot let myself cry
If I fail, others will die
But I see an error in how I think
An error that took me a while to link
I might not have a case of growing pains
But my pain is still pain, still worth the wait
I might have it good, others even worst
But that does not mean to put myself last and others first
I have to remember that I too am human
A human that deserves love and appreciation
Just like all the others
But alas, my memory is not so well
Even for a youngster such as myself
So will you help me remember? Remember to love myself?
While also helping those in need of very serious help
