If Only I Could …..

If only I could set you free from this torment that you feel,

Does everything that I do make it all seem worse?

Maybe I should go away and simply let it be, but

If only I could set you free from your painful universe.

 - - ++ - - 

If only I could answer why you don't feel a thing,

And I hesitate with my reply,

Do I tell you it's the path you've been,

If only I could help you laugh and maybe even cry.

 - - ++ - - 

If only I could help you be the person you once were,

To feel emotion, love, and feel secure again,

To show the world your are everything,

If only I could help you be the person you were then.

 - - ++ - - 

If only I could give you all the answers to your why,

If only I knew how to be, and what I should say,

To bring back to the person you always wanted to be,

If only I could find something new that maybe we could try.

 - - ++ - - 

If only I could show you what is inside my heart,

When you are not around, I sometimes just sit and cry,

There must be something else that might help you heal,

If only I could give you answers to your question -why?

- - ++ - - 

Till next time,

Calvin

[Authors note: 1 in every 8 people, or 970 million people around the world, were living with a mental disorder, with anxiety and depressive disorders. Some of these people are lucky and have support from family and friends. Others are less fortunate and have to try and fight these terrible disorders on their own.

If you know someone struggling, let them know you are there if they need you. That is often the first step to helping them in their battle, simply knowing someone cares.]
