If Not You, Who
If Not You Who
Where did you go when I needed you?
I called for you day after day.
They are beating me, defeating me.
I need your advice I need your strength.
You have left me to handle it myself.
Did you chicken out on life?
How can I do this I am only 7?
I have no way to know what to do.
I got this, I did this, I am this.
Thank you anyway.
I feel your pain, I heard your questions.
I just don’t understand your answer!!
