I need

for my words to reach you when I can’t reach you.

You stand there all alone as if you have no one on your side anymore, maybe you don’t reach out anymore because those hands that used to hold you dear.

Loosen up the hold on you and you slipped into a place you never thought you would end up in.

A tunnel that you walked alone at least that’s what you felt at first, everything you thought was the right path for you left you still feeling empty and unsatisfied.

You begun to search for the answer to what it was or who it was you were missing, it turns out you were missing a big chunk of your life line.

And once you had it, you couldn’t stop praising it and some understand the love you have for your god.

Well others respect that’s what you believe but, choose to live another way and as much as you want them to live your way.

You let them live for what they choose to live for but, that does not mean you don’t pray for them any less than you do for those who believe too.

You decided that day that you found your voice again and you won’t be quite for what if just one word or poem could help someone reach out and do what they love to do or decide they  are worth staying in the world.

And their light is needed just as much as yours is, this is not the end but the beginning to so much more.

The struggle is there no matter who you are but, it’s the way you handle it that will help you to survive and be happy and strong again.
