With your eyes
you grab my hand
and pull me
out of bounds.

No, not quite.

You guide me
to the line,
but it's up to me
to step over it.

There's no referee
to call a foul play,
just guilt.
More guilt.

Just what I needed.

I inch my toe forward,
wanting to take
a full step, and
you push me back.

Now we're just standing here,
eyes full of everything
that will never
be spoken.

Words of lies, truth filled eyes.

People of today are HURTING,
This is an ISSUE that is very CONCERNING,
It SHOWS in their DEMEANOR,
IT'S DISCERNING,
A HELPING HAND is what
they are YEARNING.

A SHOULDER to LEAN ON,
to WEEP and to CRY,
FOR SOMEONE to CARE and
to be by THEIR SIDE.

To VENT, DECOMPRESS, and
for YOU to LEND AN EAR.
To LET GO of FRUSTRATIONS and
also their FEARS.

HOLDING ON TO GRUDGES
FROM SO MANY YEARS,

The HURTING, the PAIN,
the LOSSES and the GAINS,
THE HEALING IS A PROCESS, but
The SUFFERING, IT REMAINS!!!

ASK GOD FOR HIS GUIDANCE,
HE WILL SHOW YOU THE WAY,
THE PEOPLE ARE HURTING,
GIVES US COMFORT, THIS I PRAY!!!
