You're Not Alone.

Everything has changed.
The people who used to love you
are now so far away.
Your friends keep a great distance between
you and themselves
and your world’s not the same as before.
Remembering those days
when you would run and play.
You were just kids who didn’t know much yet.
Those things you never knew
are what you wish had been kept away.
It was all the hurt.
All the anger.
All the things that children don’t know about.
How sometimes
people change
but it depends on whether
it’s right or wrong.
When you find yourself
needing them the most
it feels like they’ve all gone away and left you here….
alone…..
in the dark….
you see a light.
There is some one out there
calling your name
and they know just what to say.
“You’re not alone.”
