The unhelped helping hand

stephwrites

You lend them your ears

 

and you dry their tears

 

You hold their hand

 

and listen to them to try and understand

 

You let them vent

 

And to a certain extent

 

You wish for once that it could just be you

 

The one having ears lent

 

The one having tears dried

 

The one being held and comforted too

 

The one being told

 

“Everything is going to be okay, I love you”

    it's so hard
    in you is a light of empathetic goodness
    you feel only natural to share with the world..;
    and yet
    every time you need a helping hand
    the world teaches you just how cruel it can be...
    tells you
    only the cruel thrive in this world
    but
    a few of us, find strength enough to prevail
    to be who we are, and not
    what the world wants us to be
    eventually, we're granted a chance
    to find others like us
    and have our kindness be rewarded
    until then, it's a tough lonely journey
    stay strong! choose your people carefully
    thanks for sharing
