Side Path Confidence

Don't analyze it for me
Never said it was a problem for you to solve
Just wanted you to know
If I come across as crass
Irritated
Rude
Uncaring

It's not intended.
It's just something I carry

I do appreciate your company
but come down off your tiptoes
I'll join you in smashing eggshells
If I get you down, feel free
to tell me to get off it
to joke about the cloud over me

I'd rather you be honest and say
That you know
It's just something I carry

Don't say you'll always be there if I need someone
If I didn't think that already
We wouldn't be having this chat
You don't have to carry me
Our laughter and frustrations are real

So I just wanted to let you know
It's just something I carry.
