reach out YOUR hand

Alone I sit
In a ball
Empty in myself
Empty in this world
…..
Alone
………  
Alone except for
My thoughts
That beat me as much as they do
My cuts
That takes the pain away
These tears
The only warmth
……..
But as I sit a hand reaches out
And pulls me up
……
I look and see you
You smile
I stand taller
You hold me
I stand stronger
You tell me I will be alright
I will the next fight
You show me….
The truth….
You made me stronger
Strong enough to help someone else up
You made me stand taller
Tall enough to see their lies
You told me it would be alright
Alright to stand up and fight
……
You taught me how to hold out my hand
And make someone
Strong
Tall
Not ready to fall
The next fight is won
By
Us
