I carry someone new
Friends say "drop that weight"
One who had been hurt
One whom I thought wanted me
One was just lonely
The best advice I ever got
Was from an old man wandering:
"Find your own balance"
"Step on rocks lightly
Hold your head above the water
Focus on the shore"
Slipping and swearing
I follow his advice but
Still I get wet
Carrying one person after another
Hoping to find one to carry me
