Some Things You Can't Help

Some things you can't help,  
Like worrying about what others would think, and worrying about concerning/ worrying others,  
Even when both parents were not anxious or worried, and to get you out of your worries, they tried to help,  
Even when you've been home-schooled until mid-seventh grade, interacting with few other children, and just liked to help others.  

Even with a great support system,  
And only childhood memories of imagined worry,  
Nothing to bring it into your life with them,  
But actually to the contrary.  
 
Even when the worry was worse, and has gotten better than it used to be,  
I guess you can't see that, huh?  
You don't gain something you've been born with, don't you see?!  
...You don't see, do ya?  
 
Otherwise you wouldn't be putting yourself in such danger,  
By saying these things,  
To a complete stranger,  
Whom you don't know what they'd do...what kind of things....  
 
Lucky, if you don't meet the one you said this to,  
I hear they work with many a knife,  
And I know this one thing is true,  
You'd end up in the morgue, they've got all the drive!
