Seesaw

I'm up, you're down
we're not on common ground

when im sad you're happy
then my sadness pulls you down

I pick myself up and start anew
but now i'm worried about you

you're rushed, frustrated, and stressed
I'll try my very best

to put the pieces back together
so at ease you can rest

I wish i can wave away the hurt with a magic wand
and accomplish everything with the flick of a thumb

Instead im moving forward minute by minute
until once again im weary

cuz i cant make more hours in a day
but your optimism is still catchy

there is something to look forward to
but i just have to find it

buried under the daily monotony
 i just need to uncover it

visit a friend and energize
a prayer lifts a weight off my heart

now im ready again to face reality
everything looks brighter

now as we tread carefully through life
we'll keep each other steady
