Burden of Me

I see you on the train

Wheels churning away

Anxiety is my bane

No words, with so much to say

I'm choking on my feelings

Stuffing my throat with minced words

Challenging my being

Waiting to fly like free birds

You make me worse

You make me better

But I stand here to see

That I am the burden of me

This isn't you

To say what I had to say

I had moments, a few

I let fear have it's way

I surrendered to what you wanted

And now you're running away

I will be forever haunted

Thinking if I had asked, you would have stayed

You make me worse (you make me worse)

You make me better (you make me better)

You make me worse (you make me worse)

You make me better (you make me better)

You make me worse (you make me worse)

You make me better (you make me better)

But I stand here to see

That I am the burden of me
