A poem

I hear your silent cry for help

You whisper in my ear

The words you could never speak

The cry of pain written deeply on your scars

The smile you share with the world

Hoping no one will say a thing

They ask how you’re doing

And everything is fine

But I see you

I see your desires for more

You feel stuck and helpless

Like nothing you do is enough

You apologize for nothing

Just to feel something

I’m here

I’m here

I see you and I reach out

I tell you, yes

You are enough

Don’t stop now

I need you and I hear your

Cry for help
