Ruby

I'm tired
I don't want to do this anymore

I just want it to be over

I want to let go

I have to be here
To hold their hands
To say what they can't
To help them be

I wish things were different

I wish they didn't need me
I wish I could just leave
I wish they would let me

But I can't
They have no one but me

No one to take my place

No one to set me free
