Looking out into our world,

a small barrier of glass

separating

Everyone else's reality

from ours.

The sun slowly passing

Along with time,

A man-made illusion controlling

Our reality

In these moments

Time does not control us,

It stops when the desire to

Help

Is the only thing that matters,

The one thing that anyone who cares for you

Longs to provide,

But rather painfully cannot.

How can we give

When they don't know how to receive?

We want to believe that our friends,

Our family

Are there for us,

To love us unconditionally.

But we fight.

The never ending internal battle

Within us,

What to believe?

We use words to comfort one another

But communication is flawed.

We want to help,

To say something

To make the clouds of despair dissipate

But the reality is,

We freeze

Completely devoid of all words.

As tears flow down your face,

Holding all the painful thoughts

And emotions escaping from you

This moment only to be taken by time

We are left with only one choice

Opening our arms

In hopes to offer any type of consolation.

When you fall,

When it seems that only bad memories persist,

Seek for the good ones

The ones that will outweigh the bad.

It may seem hopeless at times

But you have to fight

We have time,

Time to build our hope.

Remember

that you will be okay

And,

No matter what,

You are loved.
