The way (poems about love and loss)

to the scared and lonely

You reach out your hand

In hope that someone

Anyone

Will grab it.

But your left alone

Hanging off the edge

Of the cliff.

You struggle to hang on

You cry out in fear.

And of course they can see you

Hear you

But they won't help you.

Your so weak

And so frightened

you hang on to what you can

Even though theres nothing.

You grow hard on the inside

On the outside to.

Make a decision

Or maybe two.

You raise your other hand

And grab the edge

You grunt and you scream.

But now when peoplesee

How strong you are

You fight them.

Your not weak!

You're strong!

You pull yourself up over the edge and stand.

After so long

Scared

Frightened

Alone

You are strong

After so long

Scared

Frightened

Alone

You are strong

And brave

And you plain don't care.

You walk through the crowd

Your head held high.

You never needed anyone

You just didn't know at the time.
