What Is It Worth?

I am the way I am
And only I can change that
You are pushing me to misery
That’s a matter of fact
I know what you’re trying to do
And it’s not going to work
If you don’t cut me a little slack
I’ll dig my heels in the dirt
Your friendship means the world to me
But we don’t see eye to eye
Our different personalities
Are causing sparks to fly
We both see things so differently
It’s just the way we are
You can hurt my feelings with simple words
That cause a deep scar
Now I don’t want to go on like this
I hate this mental tug of war
I’m fighting with myself and you
And I can’t take it anymore
So I try to pick my battles
And to avoid emotional land mines
What I need is your encouragement
Not to be alone crying all the time
How are we going to fix it
Keep our friendship going strong
We’ll have to have a heart to heart
You’ll have to hear this song
We need to give each other credit
When the balance is due
And stop withdrawing only debits
The bank of feelings is overdue
You haven’t seen this side of me
I don’t like to get mad
But when I do I blow my top
The aftermath makes me sad
If we don’t find a solution
I fear this will be the end
Talking is a good place to start
A way to heal and mend
I am good enough
I am doing alright
I am pushing myself
With all of my might
Can we sit down and talk
I need to get this all out
If I don’t then I will have to walk
Away without a doubt
