"When you're not sure what to do, do what's right and do what's in front of you: but not necessarily what's right in front of you." -Brent Weeks, the Black Prism



I am so afraid
That you’ll slip through my fingers
Like flowing water

I stand on the shore
You let the rip tide pull you
You’ve tired of swimming

And I watch you sink
“I don’t want to drag you down”
You won’t let me help

But I’m drowning too
We weren’t meant to sink alone
Don’t leave me shipwrecked

You're not a burden for asking for help. Your loved ones will be your raft if you'd just grab hold.
