Of Course I Will

No matter

how exhausted I am

how sad I am

No matter 

what I am going through

the bruises and pain 

I carry

Be it

more or less

than I can handle


If someone asks me

If I can help them

lend them a listening ear

While they cry 

and take on

their pain

I would gladly

take those extra bruises

bleed a little more

If it means 

that they hurt even a fraction less

as someone who can deal 

with all the hurt

Will I gauge deeper cuts

to fill with others pain

and burdens?



Of course I will
