Have You Ever?

Have you ever felt this way?
That your heart might just melt away.
That the fear will consume who you are,
That the end just seems too far.

Have you ever walked on fire?
Praying not to get burned.
Taking each step with care and hope,
Thinking "I will never learn."

Have you ever beat yourself silly?
Blaming yourself for it all.
Losing all hope in who you are.
On the edge, waiting to fall.

Have you ever denied the help?
Thinking "I can do this alone"
Taking each day as a tiny step,
Feeling so empty at home.

Then you realise they care so much.
They want you to be happy, at your best.
Take the help, pull yourself up,
Give your mind a rest.
