I hear your pain
And feel it even louder,
I wish to shield you
But I know,
What you really need
Is a sword,
And the courage
To vanquish
What you fear,
That which steals
The sleep
From your nights,
And stands over
And between
You and the world,
Mitigating your
Successes,
Hampering your
Day to day,
Making your
Sunrise and sunsets
Bittersweet,
Unable to connect
To the world around you,
I will help you wield
The spear you need
To sink into and gut
The darkness,
Make light of all
Your troubles,
Line all your clouds
With silver,
And bring about
Your golden smile...
