In The Way

Burden

In The Way

I don’t mean to get in anyone’s way,

But it seems whatever I do,

Whatever it is I say,

I just seem to be in everyone's way.

I can’t seem to not be a burden,

And that’s my biggest fear.

I don’t want to be a problem,

Maybe it’d be better to disappear.

Days like this it’s all I can do

Not to feel melancholy and blue.

Will I ever be enough?

Is it even me I see?

Sometimes these thoughts are so tough,

I wish they’d just let me be.
