Grieving

I remember a time long ago When everything was alright.
I wasn't afraid to let it show, my smile was big and bright.

Lately it's all went to hell, and my mood has been depressed.
My friend who knows me all to well can see that i am stressed.

I don't know how to fix whats wrong, I really wish I did.
The problem is its been to long, its been since i was a kid.

People ask me what is wrong and try to help me thru
But I'm just trying to prolong what I am destined to.

I don't like to cause any worry, so I keep it to myself
I tell another story and put the truth on a shelf.

I'm sure that sooner or later i will have to share
The problems that haunt me now so I can breathe fresh air.

But for now I have to see
If there is anything I can do for me.

And if the time comes that I must leave
I don't want the ones I love to sit around and grieve.
