Borderline
I'm the only one that can help me
I need to work through it myself.
All the tools I have gained in life
Lay fallow on a dusty shelf.
Now I know all of my weapons
How to used them, what they're for.
But I have lost my way to them
As I stumble across the floor.
When I was still in high school
Mathematics was not my best.
I knew all the rules I needed
But still I failed every test.
I hope you see the relations
I needed help then, so too now.
My teachers were very patient.
They helped me till I knew how.
When I've looked round lately,
Everyone is looking away.
They say you just got to do it
So there is nothing more to say.
My feelings so overwhelming,
They flood my eyes I cannot see.
Through them all is confusion
Burns all that is and used to be.
I know I have to get going
To figure out what is my plan.
I'm pulled in many directions
I'm frozen and don't think I can.
You know it's feeling so lonely
I am stuck within my own mind
I wish I were still in high school
Where I would get help of some kind.
In my life that moves so fast,
So fast that I'm losing my will.
I struggle just to get things right
As I fail my spirit I kill.
Understanding's all I will need
And a place where I can share.
Someone who'll help me see clear
Someone who will really care.
I hope you see my dilemma
When my mind races awry
I can't figure which way to go
I feel I should stand here and die.
But I will keep on trying.
Until one day I will succeed.
When I get stuck I hope I'll know.
I'll have the support I will need.
