The life I live I cannot see
My feelings I keep inside of me
I wonder why I feel this way
I hurt myself all night and day
The people I meet I want to know
But my timid side always shows
"It's easy to do" they all say
I don't know how, so I continue to pray
I ask for help and friends are there
But I still, remain unaware
Some don't realize all of my strife
It often rules all of my life
If you can see all of my sorrow
I ask you to help me until tomorrow
Guidance and help are what I need
Or my troubled heart will continue to bleed
