When Is It My Turn?


When is it my turn? When do I get to cry? When I need help, Where can I go for advice? Maybe I'm afraid. Maybe I don't know Maybe I'm getting played. Maybe I want left alone. Can I just vent? Can I be mad? Can I play my part as victim? Can I be glad? What if I want to give up? What if I'm mentally drained? What if I can't physically put up? What if I'm emotionally in pain? Should I be petty? Should I take my life? Should I stop making progress? Should I let our semi realtionship die? Am I talking to myself? Am I talking to you? Am I being put on a shelf? Am I anything to you? What do you mean you don't need me? What do you mean why isn't this fixed? What do you can't believe it? What do you mean I don't do shit? Do my feelings matter? Do my efforts get noticed? Do you think I'm still in the cradle? Do you see that I'm struggling, and not care about it? Would you be a help? Would you please care? Would you....Oh wait....no one is there....
