One More Time

You come to me for advice
but what happens
when I don't even have
the answers for myself

I put aside my troubles
and try to help
to the best of my ability
though sometimes that isn't enough

I lay in bed at night
and pray for everything
to turn out right
in hope that you'll be okay

now and again tears fall from my eyes
and slide down my face
but never seem to take
the emotions and pain with them

waking up in the morning
I try to hide the stains
on my bare cheeks
hoping noone notices

I'm supposed to be
the strong on of the bunch
The one that helps everyone
But what happens
when I don't feel so strong anymore?
