friendship

You are downtrodden

Do you think I don't see your face

cloaked in sorrow?

Your tears rain down

like broken jewels

do you see

That I have cried for you

prayed for you

loved you?

The world hurts you

and yet you think you are

the world’s pain

I'm throwing you a rope

I want to pull you out

I want you to see the light

the truth

about yourself

your strength

your splendid inner being

that you hide so dearly from everyone

there are people

who would stomp your heart

but don’t forget those who will pick up the pieces

and help you become whole again
