Friends?

Sometimes I feel my world closing in
    Everything around me gets black
Sometimes I feel I am living in sin
    And can not find my way back.

Why doesn't anyone care
    Don't they see me?
Why isn't anyone there
    Don't they know me?

I help all I can
    Give a helping hand
I do all I can
    Get thrown in quicksand.

They walk all over me
    They don't ever think
They don't care if they hurt me
    Pushing me to the brink.

Why can't I find someone
    To know me, To care about me
Like I try to do with everyone
    I just wish they could see.

The me that was so caring
    Is becoming mean and thoughtless
The me that was so loving
    Doesn't even know what love is.

I feel I've had my share of bad times
    And I know there will be more to come
But I'm ready for the good times
    And I feel they are to come.

I hold my head high
    And stay strong
For I know when it comes by
    It will last my whole life long.
