There she sits
In the corner she's alone
Her shadow there so she doesn't get lonely
Folded into a ball
Grasping at parts of herself she hasn't yet lost

Her hair falling around her solemn visage
The gentle tears cascading down her cheeks
Her eyes glossy with fresh moisture
The past few weeks there in her gaze

Let me help you.
Show me the reason.
The pain in your breathing
So hidden, yet still there
Open for those willing to listen
Just to pause, and see what's in front of them
It doesn't take a genius to work out
When someone's hurting
Let me bear your torment
Let me carry your burden

The weight of it all pushing down so hard
Her shoulders slumped over
Lifeless, too tired to go on

Her stooped head
Overworked, too much to think about
Confused about what to do, and where to go
Her world upside down
Everything twisting and turning
Taking off in different directions

Let me help you.
Show me your reason.
The pain in your breathing
So hidden...still there
Open for us who are willing to listen
Who have seen what's in front of them
And worked out
That someone's hurting
I'll bear your torment
I'll carry your burden

Hidden behind your mask
Nobody takes notice
Only seeing the fake persona
You put on

You can't let them see through you
They mustn't see
They wouldn't understand
They'd just show apathy
And pretend to sympathize

Let me help you.
Show me your reason.
The pain in your breathing
So hidden... but definitely there
I'm willing to listen
For I've seen what's there in front of me
And worked out
That You're hurting
I'll bear your torment
I'll carry your burden

The rose blossoms
Gracefully unfolding
She slowly gets up
Takes two steps forward

Ready to take on reality
Just keep strong
Battle Armour out
Gotta fight those demons

Look at her now
On her own
No longer afraid
Like a butterfly

There she goes
