When Is It My Turn?

When is it my turn?
When do I get to cry?
When I need help, Where can I go for advice?

Maybe I'm afraid.
Maybe I don't know
Maybe I'm getting played.
Maybe I want left alone.

Can I just vent?
Can I be mad?
Can I play my part as victim?
Can I be glad?

What if I want to give up?
What if I'm mentally drained?
What if I can't physically put up?
What if I'm emotionally in pain?

Should I be petty?
Should I take my life?
Should I stop making progress?
Should I let our semi realtionship die?

Am I talking to myself?
Am I talking to you?
Am I being put on a shelf?
Am I anything to you?

What do you mean you don't need me?
What do you mean why isn't this fixed?
What do you can't believe it?
What do you mean I don't do shit?

Do my feelings matter?
Do my efforts get noticed?
Do you think I'm still in the cradle?
Do you see that I'm struggling, and not care about it?

Would you be a help?
Would you please care?
Would you....Oh wait....no one is there....
