Stay Strong Little Guy

A Poem by Dark Tower

Stay Strong Little Guy

Come on buddy
This isn't the time for you to cry
You're not alone
I know mommy's gone
I know you and daddy are on your own
I know you feel scared
I know you're confused
But you've got to stay strong
Not just for you
But for me
See
If you break now
Then I'll wont be able to protect you
It's a dark scary world
Did anyone ever tell you that?
No of course not
Santa, Easter Bunny, kindness, not real
Picture perfect family?
Nope, I'm afraid not.
Oh no little B
Wipe that tear away
It's you and me
Me and you
We'll be each other family
I'll protect you
Even if it's the last thing I ever do
No one will understand
Us, we'll be outcast
Take my hand
Let me lead you to a safe place
Where you never have to feel this pain ever again
You're going to be a deep sleep
So deep you may never wake
But its the best way to keep you safe'
Listen to what they're saying
It's his responsibility to protect her and hers to protect him
So who's protecting you?
You can't stay here
They're not going to love you
Not in the same way that I do
Aren't you tired of being lied to?
Tired of feeling like the spare wheel
On an 18 wheeler?
Time will pass but it will never heal
This pain forever you will feel
Forever doubting yourself
Constantly suppressing how you feel
What you think
Keeping your emotions in check
Why would you want this?
I can take you somewhere
Where you will feel nothing but bliss
I promise you'll be safe here little buddy
Look around you
Its beautiful and sunny
Let me face the problems
Let me worry about food and money
Let me deal with these procrastinating liars
Let me choke them with their chains of oppressions
Let me surprise them with a glimpse of our aggression
Let them see what they did to you
Let them see how each negative word
Left a cut too deep to fill up with anything other than the blood of guilty
I'll make them even it kills me

A powerful journey in your words. I felt the struggle and the disappointment in the words.
"Let me deal with these procrastinating liars
Let me choke them with their chains of oppressions
Let me surprise them with a glimpse of our aggression"
The above lines I liked a lot. When you take all you can. Break a people. They become stronger. No weakness in the outstanding poetry.
