Don't Ask Me That

I know,

That things are hard.

But don't you give up now.

Don't you dare,

Say those things,

Don't you fall down on your face.

Things will get better,

They always do.

I'll put a smile on your face.

Now don't you dare,

Ask me that,

Don't cry anymore.

I will take your hand,

I will be there,

So don't give up now.

Thing will get better,

They always do,

Don't you fall down on your face.

No,

Don't you dare,

Ask me to do that.

Wow. That's....just wow.

Now this one I really enjoyed. Particularly because of that last stanza. When people are down on their luck they do ask us to let them go and allow them to wallow in self-pity, don't they? We can't let them do that! We need to help them get back on their own two feet and show them the sunrise beyond the gray! We have to help each other, and that need really reflected itself in your words. A powerful write, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. :)

A powerful piece. It really makes you think about the nature of despair and how humans must help each other through the storm. Thank you, for that wonderful, wonderful, emotional poem. :D I'm getting teary-eyed.
