All alone trapped with my thoughts
excessively fast they would swirl in my head;
an abundance of words too many to evade.
Extremely loud it's hard to ignore
my heart would ache for solitude.

Appearing from darkness a window glides open,
with a glow made of kindness that gently shines through.

Afraid to move forward for fear of the unknown,
I slowly approach, but stay at a distance.
You welcomed me with open arms
with your words of wisdom; words of support.

You've helped me more than I thought possible
without hidden assumptions, there are no judgements.
Because of that I will continue to grow,
and for you that is why I write this poem.
