Pick Me Up
I’ve been down lately
sorry I haven’t been
around lately
checked out mentally
letting shit get to me
feeling like
everything is out, to get to me
pick me up
cos i’m falling
pick me up
and i’m sorry to keep calling
to unload my shit on you
but know that
you can do the same to me too
i’ll be there
pick me up
because right now
i’m at my lowest
and i’m hoping that
no one will notice
but from the mud
i will grow
like the lotus
from the pain
i will rise from the ashes
like the phoenix…
pick me up
simply because
i asked you to..
i need a hand,
i need a friend,
or is it too much
to ask of you?
pick me up
because the world
keeps settling on my shoulders;
fuck a rock
i’m stuck in between
a hard place and a boulder
i wish i could get a do over
push this heart of mine to the side
yo move over
i feel like shit
i’m out here living
while my uncle is
merely knocking on death’s door
why him?
why does he gotta leave?
what did you take him for?
I can’t take no more
my loved ones keep dying
my mama keeps crying
pick me up
i’m breaking down
tired of pretending to be strong
i really don’t know how i
went this long..
pick me up..
I’ve been down lately
sorry I haven’t been
around lately
checked out mentally
letting shit get to me
feeling like
everything is out, to get to me…

i have lost more than one family member to cancer, i know what you are saying
I stand with you among those willing to pick you up. I too have lost family members to cancer and been checked against 3 kinds of it after having symptoms needing investigating. If writing is your way of coping use it.

Thank you all so much, I mean it from the bottom of my heart. This pain is almost suffocating… I will get there eventually..
