Rough Day

Every day is a rough day,
And I'm not really sure why.
I don't understand what's happening;
Sometimes I break down and cry.

It feels like the world is ending. 
I'm trying so hard to hold on,
But it seems my grip keeps slipping,
And before I know it, I'm gone.

I wish I could have a sense of control,
Or even a moment of peace,
While everything spirals around me,
And I keep smiling through my teeth.

Please, don't tell me that I'm losing you,
Because I can't bear to let you go.
You're my calm in the storm, my happy place--
The only safety I know.

I'm alone here in the darkness,
And I wish you were by my side.
I know you can't take the pain away,
But you can hold me while I cry.
