I can stand tall
I can pretend
I can smile brightly
And be a good friend
I can laugh fully
I can tell a joke
I can only breathe so long
Until my lungs fill up with smoke
I can only take so much
Before I need to rest
I can only do so much more
When I'm already doing my best
I can only hold the weight
When everyone can see
I can only do so little
Just trying to carry me
I can beat this on my own
Just as I was taught
I can save myself from me
Or maybe I cannot
