Hold on

Did you hear the water crashing against the shore

Can you see what is coming to grasp you

It stalks you everywhere you go

Yet never makes a sound

Just waiting for the prefect moment to strike

How is it possible that you can’t seem to feel the

Nightmarish creature that lurking around you

 

You look around for help from anyone

But no one seems to get past the front you have put into play

Inside your soul

You’re screaming for help, willing anymore to listen to you

You allow silent tears to run down your face

So many people seem to keep looking straight through you

It’s like no one cares that you need saving

 

How many times did you put your needs on hold

What did all that cost you

Was it simply a few precious moments of your time

Never once did you said ‘no’

You were more than happy to help

Now you are left to do everything on your own

After everything

 

So instead you chose to push the storm

Building inside you to the side

Someone else needs your help, no time to fix yourself

You swallow your pride and pain

To keep pushing forward

You refuse to allow anyone to go through it alone

If they ask for help, you are there offering a helping hand

 

One day you get up and realize you can’t help anyone

The storm inside explodes and there is nothing you can do

You leash out at everyone around you

Only briefly realizing what is happening

Now the darkness has engulfed you and there no place to run

The silent tears run like a river down your face

No one cares, not even an ounce to stop and help

 

How can you keep pushing forward

When you gave everything to those around you

The darkness seems never ending just like the raging storm

Suddenly of the lurking darkness comes this strange glowing flower

How could this be possible

Simple it’s called HOPE

You never truly gave up because you kept fighting

 

You have even started to open up to people

You’re not as shattered as you believed you are

Don’t give up because help is on its way.
