I wanna break on down, but I can't stop now.

I feel so tired lately; so emotionally exhausted. But it's harder than ever to let anyone know. I can't hurt those I care about, so I'll put on a mask and pretend everything is alright. And maybe that will be enough to get me through the day. I just wish someone would hug me and tell me it's going to be okay. I wish I wasn't so independent and paranoid.
