You Over Pain

You Over Pain

When I grab for my bottle of pain relief
Don't give me those eyes and don't give that grief
I know you don't mean it but that's what you do
The best of intentions, you don't have a clue
I don't need your tears, your pity, or sorrow
Makes it hard for me to strive for tomorrow
I'm just trying to make it from day to day
Fighting against pain, I want to go away
I want to decide what is all right for me
Even when I struggle, and we don't agree
Give me those seconds when I might need to rest
And I'll give you those moments I'm at my best
It's not your help that I need most
Without it through life I'm sure to coast
Your love and friendship is what I hold most dear
Losing mobility is nothing I fear
Push me in the water and leave me to wade
Instead of you always jumping to my aide
Honestly not trying to push you away
Right here beside me I want you to stay
I may seem to get slow when getting it right
But I'm not giving up without a good fight
So leave me to struggle with the task at hand
And be there beside me when I fight to stand
