Guarded

I feel so burdened.

I feel like giving up.

Everything around me is breaking.

Everyone, leaving.

I need someone to tell me,

“Everything’s gonna be fine.”

Thoughts are rushing in my head.

Feelings bursting from my chest.

I wanna tell you how I feel.

But I can’t let you in.

Can’t let my guard down.

Don’t want you to see how weak I am.

Won’t let you see the vulnerable me.

But right now, I just need you beside me.
