A Poem by Emma Garside

I'm thinking,

thinking of all the times I’ve tired,

all the times you've tired.

All the times we've both tired to reach out but no answer

so we crawl back and pretend it never happened,

but deep down we both know its only going to surface again

and when it does we wont be ready for it.

To see what others see and to break down to face our fears

to over come them is a possibly that seems just out of our reach.

To break down.

We just want to give up, lay somewhere nice and just do nothing,

but you can't.

You can't because you know there are people out there who are cheering for you.

Cheering for you to cross the finish line and say “wow you did it”

and “I am so proud of you”.

Just thinking that maybe one day I will hear those words, we will hear those words.

We WILL hear those words from each other,

because we ARE strong enough to cross the finish line

We ARE brave enough to go places that need to be, to fix these problems.

We WILL make it through this

because we are WE and we are US

And WE ARE unstoppable when combined

so when we're not combined it blows my mind because of how much of a waste it is.

WE are amazing together and togetherness is whats going to make us get through this

WE and US, not them or someone else.
