Someone

My hands shake as tears drench my skin
I look out, searching for an unknown thing
maybe looking for where happiness turned to sin
and what penetrated my once joyful way of thinking

I want to collapse, I need to fall
no longer can I carry myself
this burden I cannot haul
so please restore my health

Give me someone to walk beside
to hold me when I fall under the flames
that from them I won't have to hide
and with me they will bear my pains

If I am going to stand any longer
I need that person to make me stronger

  1. Having someone there to comfort and offer words of encouragement does make a difference when we are feeling down. I liked reading your poem.

  2. I think you should just let yourself fall and then rise anew without all these burdens that once weighed you down, like a Phoenix in its new birth. Beautiful poem, loved it
