Burden

There are days when I am happy

And then the ones that I am miserable

The nights I stay up crying into a pillow

Just so nobody will notice

The days I here you in the other room

And I just want to run in and hug you

Tell you not to leave

But that would be selfish

Even though you told me I could

But it would only burden you

So I sit here and wait

Wondering if you will come in

Run to me so we can talk

I only wish that you would

I wish you could hear my cry

And come and wrap your arms around me

Telling me it will be alright

But wishing won't do any good

It burdens the ones who know

And is selfish want them to help

So I sit at night crying

Staring at the door listening

I act happy and try not to burden

But inside that person

The one who people think is happy

I am crying and calling

Calling for you not to leave me

But it is a burden on anyone

So I will keep my pain a secret

So I won't burden those around

Even if it hurts it is just a burden
