I'm sorry.
I’m sorry, but please
Leave me alone
I’m not your therapist or your shrink
I'm not getting paid to listen to all of your trivial problems
I know I’m your friend
I know I’m supposed to care
But I have reached my limit
I can’t take it anymore
I keep trying to pretend that I'm actually concerned
I spew out random crap and you label it advice
I don’t know what I’m talking about
I can’t always save the day
I try, I really do
I want to be there
I want to make sure you are okay
But now I’m not
And I’ve realized that although I’m there for everyone
Nobody is there for me
So I am done lending a hand
My shoulder is not for crying
My ears are not there to listen
I am worrying about myself for once
I turned off my phone
I stayed home from school
Stop trying to talk to me
Just leave me alone
Tomorrow I’ll be there, just like before
Maybe I’ll listen, maybe I’ll help
But I’m sorry, I just can’t today
Today I am my own
I care about nobody else
I can’t help you
I can’t even help myself
So find someone else
Or just cry to yourself
I’m done being the person everyone cries to for help
