Sometimes

Sometimes you need the space
To hide the sadness on your face.
Sometimes you need to stay,
To make them feel you’re away.
Sometimes you need the rain
To ease your thoughts and pain.
Sometimes you need it all,
When life is beyond the call.

Don’t look back,
it’s okay. Don't give back,
Don’t say a word, it’s fine.
Your silence, too, can redefine.
Don’t shed a tear, it’s brave.
To let your fear remain unpaved.

Sometimes you need to breathe it in,
To fight the storm that swells within.
Sometimes, you are all you seek,
A steady hand when you feel weak.
Sometimes, your courage lies unseen,
A quiet strength, a steady gleam.
Sometimes, that’s all it takes
To rise above what heartache makes.
