I am Your Rock

To me everyone does turn
In hopes I can help ease their pain
No one ever seems to learn
Never have I been truly sane

It hurts to see your despair
As your eyes overflow with tears
I tell you how much I care
And try to rid you of your fears

What about my depression
Lurking inside my troubled mind
Suppressing my aggression
Biting my lip and being kind

It's not easy like you think
To live everyday in a haze
Just to live on the very brink
Thinking in self destructive ways

I cling to my hated life
To avoid hurting those I love
Pain cutting me like a knife
Sacrifice I never dreamed of

Not as strong as you believe
I still rest in a state of shock
But I manage to deceive
I collapse now, I am your rock

Beautiful, if a tad depressing. I think it describes what you were telling me earlier perfectly.

I think everybody's felt like this before. Everybody has their problems, and they go to their friends for help.

Well, everybody's felt like this except for super happy people. Super happy people that I'm majorly jealous of. Snarkie.

Yeah perhaps a tad depressing. It took me a long time to write, long time. But yeah super happy people can *quotes* " Lick the fatest part of my left nut" ... well you know, if I had that sort of apparatus... anywho...

Enough of that.

HAHA brenden...
he'd like that

but yea
I would feel like that,
but the thing is, noone turns to me

I just pin all my problems on everyone else while they pretend to listen

it comforts me

Ahahaha yeah I know, I stole that from him, I like that quote quite a bit, but it's difficult to use cause I'm lacking in that area
