Take care of me
I need you
I need you
I will never say
My fear is if I say it
You will run away
Need is terrifying
Both felt and as expressed
It’s better to deny it
And keep it well in check
But sometimes I grow tired
Of seeming to be brave
I want to run to you for help
Be rescued, sheltered, saved
My strength is my appearance
And that is what I show
My weakness must be shielded
So only I will know.
