you're falling apart
don't you think I can see it?
you're trying so hard to keep yourself together
but would it really hurt for you to admit—

that you're barely making it through
that you're can't spend another day
pretending to be someone that's not you?
would it really hurt for you to say—

that you might need a little bit of help
that you need a shoulder to cry on
for someone to say "it's okay"?
would it really be frowned upon—

if you ask for what you need
because you can't take it anymore
that you're tired of drowning in the sea
and you want to find a shore?
