Don't Look To Me For Answers

A Poem by Shawna
"

I try to do my best to encourage people to reach out when they are hurting or depressed but I'm not always good at taking my own advice. I'm better at helping others than I am about helping myself.

Don't Look To Me For Answers

(7-13-17)


Don't look to me for answers, Don't look to me for clues

Don't look to me for answers, Don't look to me for that

Don't look to me for answers, Don't look to me just yet


I'm just as broken as you are, but in my own way

I'm still battling my own demons, still fighting through to live

I'm still picking up my own pieces, still gluing them back together


Don't look to me for answers, Don't look to me for clues

Don't look to me for answers, Don't look to me for that

Don't look to me for answers, Don't look to me just yet


I'll do my best to help you, I'll do my best to get you through

I'll give my all to you, I want to help you though your pain

I'll put your pain before my own, but sometimes my thoughts go flat


Don't look to me for answers, Don't look to me for clues

Don't look to me for answers, Don't look to me for that

Don't look to me for answers, Don't look to me just yet


But sometimes I won't answer, sometimes I just don't know what to say

This nothing that's inside me, it makes it hard to give

The darkness can be consuming, it's hard to fight my way through


Don't look to me for answers, Don't look to me for clues

Don't look to me for answers, Don't look to me for that

Don't look to me for answers, Don't look to me just yet


I'm just as broken as you are, but I'll do the best I can

I'll help you pick up your pieces, I hate to see your pain

But don't look to me for answers, I swear I have none
