Roses - Maya Isacowitz

I tell you I’m leaving

How long can I stay

I tell you I’m shaking

How long till it goes away

I tell you I’m broken

How long can I stand on my feet

I tell you I’m trying

But how much is enough for me

I bring you roses to your plate

Surround you with angels

To guide your way

Dreaming is easy

Acting is hard

Maybe I’m dreaming

I’ll act when I want

I tell you I’m leaving

How long can I stay

I tell you I’m shaking

How long till it goes away

I tell you I’m broken

How long can I stand on my feet

I tell you I’m trying

But how much is enough for me

I bring you roses…

When I’m struggling so bad

I’m lost in my head- you show

When I’m fighting myself
