Why was I so vain,
As to think "I don't need help"
Even when in pain,
I turned only to myself.
Yet none of us is strong enough,
To face the music all alone,
No matter that I thought "I'm tough",
Weak I was and should have known.
So listen now to what I found,
When I opened up at length,
You'll find it strange, but look around,
Friendship is where you'll find strength.
Yes, strange indeed, make no mistake,
For strength you need, to open up,
But please do try, and in it's wake,
You'll get on by, your head held up.
