Signed, Your Struggling Friend

I don’t understand why you’re friends with me.
What profit or gain could you possibly see?

I’m broken and struggling to see the light
Even though I’m trying with all my might,
But I don’t want to bring you down with me
Although I need friends to really see.

I want you to know, but I don’t want you to go.
Is this pain that’s inside something I can show?
I know I look strong. Is that why you’re here?
Do I seem like someone you would want to be near?

All I see is the darkness inside of my mind,
But the light is what I’m desperately trying to find.
Please be my friend… but do it for you…
It’d hurt so much more if the friendship’s not true.

I don’t know why you’d be friends with me.
I can’t give you reasons for there’s none that I see.
