Reach For Them

Someone just needs to touch their hearts, just enough to bring them in. <3

Reach For Them
Every single person that
Walks through those doors
My heart melts for them
I don’t see them as bad people
Just someone that took a different path
And something went terribly wrong
The way I see it as
Why would they choose this life?
Yes, it might have been their fault
But they didn’t want this
So how is it I can feel this way
But their families look at them with disgrace
When they come and visit their loved one
They have this shameful look
I watch as their heads fall
All their wanting is for you to accept them
They need you to help guide them
We can’t always do it
Someone that is close enough
Can change what they feel
Maybe half the reason
They are in this mess
Is because you don’t care
All they need is that little reach out
One hand to pull them in
And change their world completely.

Oh, how I feel this one. Kylie, what most don't understand is that the ones you' rr informing to be there for the support and guidance, are the same reason that these people go the dark path way to enlightenment. The ones with the feelings and treatment of disgrace are the same ones that contributed to the addicts downfall. Not always, but usually. It's the scrutinizing, demeaning, labeling, degrading, demoralizing, etc. of the contributors that has the greatest impact on the addict. It's the feelings of being worthless, unworthy, unwanted, etc. that make the addicts lose their hope or willingness to try. Another much needed perspective on an issue that is, unfortunately, apparently taboo, and treated as a disgrace. You bring up some good points, and leave much to be thought about. Outstanding!

Such a emotion you put into this write.
I can feel this write so much.
It's very heartfelt and sincere.

Wow.. can I relate to this one.. unfortunately in these times so many families live so distantly away.. even friends relocate in order to make a living.. I could feel a high sense of pleading for those in need slipping in the cracks.. what a wonderful heart you have to write for those in need! The rhythm, rhyme and flow ..very well done. Did some take wrong paths and if they did should they be punished eternally by friends or family? I think not... there has to be a time for forgiveness for all to heal.. I hope this touches so many hearts out there.. it touched mine!

Every single human being needs a support system of some sort.. especially if dealling with a crisis or issue that can not be dealt with alone! A chain link system.. that so many today feel they need to discard the weak link possibly? I hope not.. life is not all about smiles and money! Keep writing.. whatever prompted this writing is very fuelled in the undertones I felt.. simply a very provocative and piece of work true to today! Bravo!
