Poetry

You were

the hope I was looking  for.

The peace I needed to wash over me

the smile that lifted up my spirit after a long day.

The arms that picked me up when I couldn’t go on anymore

The joke I needed to hear, so that I could laugh again.

The eraser I needed to erase all the things that didn’t matter anymore from my brain and my devices.

Your one of the reasons I have a new beginning and hope that everything will workout.

You’re the reason I’m still fighting this thing called life.

Living for me because you gave up your life for me, trying to do what’s right and praying that things will get better but that I will take something away from all that has happened to me.

I won’t give up for you are there for me now as you were there for me than.
