I Try

I will never claim to be a savior, Because I know I’m far from perfect. But damn if I don’t try To be there for everyone that I can When they really need it. Everyone leans on me and I love it, But I can’t stand it. I want so badly to be What my people need. But I’m starting to wonder things like, “Do they care for and think of me?” “Can I lean on them when I need Someone to listen to me, With things going on daily for me?” Or am I just being selfish? As I sit back On an average day, trying to relax And ease my mind, Essentially frozen in time Staring out my window Watching birds fly by, I’m hoping that Somehow or some way My friends will ask.. “hey! Be honest are you okay? What are you thinking and feeling today?” Or is my purpose to stay A scapegoat for Everyone else to get away And live another day?
