She lifts my head above the clouds
To show me to be proud
She exposed to me a world where I was misled
Into believing I was ahead
She taught me to embrace learning
Instead of simply observing
She told me to laugh and giggle
Even when the monsters in my head come to fiddle
She demonstrated to me consideration and empathy for others
For those who have even wronged their own brothers
She fought and cried for me
When I gave up and lost all my energy
She showed me how to love
When I was raised to believe that was only for doves
She begged me to put my ego and prejudices aside
And have the humbleness to recognize my mind is in a landslide
She dared me to be honest with my friends and family
To be brave and ask for help in a time of calamity
She’s thinking about leaving
I feel my entire existence fleeting
I’ll do anything to keep her at bay
Even if it puts my mind in harms way
I’ll shut my mouth and muffle my thoughts
At least she will be content, while I will be distraught
Maybe I can speak my mind and she can speak her’s too,
That way we both can see the problem from a view
An uncomfortable voice whispers in my ear: “This is what she was talking about”,
”This is why she is bailing out”
An uneasy tension consumes my mind as it churns blue
Damned if I don’t, Damned if I do
I don’t know what to do or what to say
But I have a strong feeling, it’s gonna be another rough day
