The Light

Do you know me?
Living a life, no one cares.
Crying alone, overwhelming hurt.

Beaten and battered, no bruises revealed.
Emotional hits, deeper scares.

Do you know me?
Wanting to die, no strength to pursue.
No one to turn to, a brave face shows.

Lies and hurt, a friends’ betrayal.
Life uncertain, no meaningful trust.

Do you know me?
So confused, hating torment.
Wanting reprieve, road getting hard.

No one knows the pain and hurt.
No one cares if there’s life or death.

See what is needed?
Caring touch, meaningful glance.
A heartfelt smile.

Light in a darkened room.
Changing what was to what will be.

Are you that light?
The one that sees when others don’t.
The one that helps.

Light of inspiration, hope and love.
An end of darkened days.

Do you know me?
