A simple hand outstretched.
An urging cry.
A begging and hurting plea.
What is this to me?
Arms dangling
Hearts breaking.
A unbreakable cycle.
Broken only once.
Yet was never there after.
It is difficult to find the words to describe.
Broken yet placed together.
Forgotten and abandoned.
These are things I can not know.
What is one too do with this embedding danger.
The thoughts of becoming the lost.
The ones to become the forgotten and casted aside.
We are not all of one the same.
We have all become what we have created.
The impending end of our lives.
The ache of a simple touch.
The simplest acts of kindness...
Of acknowledgement.
Once so many have out stretched their hands to assist.
Yet as you've grown you've noticed they have become few in number
You have lost many along the way.
Yet you still continuously do.
However you are not alone.
I am here.
Right beside you.
You may not see me.
However we reside in the same space.
The same universe.
Can you hear me knocking?
Reach your hand out into this darkness and j shall reach out mind.
We will find another in the middle.
Do not be afraid of this darkness.
It is only a blanket that is made to blind you from the truths.
To hide the numbers you actually have there, there by your side.
You aren't alone my friend.
I shall remain here for you.
I shall hear your cries.
I shall keep my hand out reaches even as yours retreats.
I shall wait here for you.
Why?
Because I've been in the same place you now sit.
I have lost my hope,
Lost my will,
Lost my sense of belonging.
I have felt the pain you feel now.
The pain of a blade,
Pain of a cigarette against the skin.
Pain of being replaced,
Pain of a fist bruising my own skin.
The pain of emotional struggle.
Pain of the bullies within school.
Pain of watching arguing parents.
The pain of becoming a fist child.
I've felt the pain of everything.
Now allow me to guide you through yours.
It's okay to be scared and it's okay to deny it.
But going through it alone isn't.
My hand will stay, out reached and ready for when you are ready.
I will remain here with you.
In the cover of this damning darkness.
I shall remain with you.
