Long Way Away
Even though you're far away And I won't see you soon I want you to know now That I'm thinking about you
Poetry for people who could use a little kindness
Even though you're far away And I won't see you soon I want you to know now That I'm thinking about you
Chirp chirp chirp A soft breeze Caressing wet grass The smell of fresh rain in the air
Time's up, I've got to go I wish I didn't have to, but I know that if I don't leave now, I'll be late Though I'm tired, I can't afford to wait
We sit down together No work today Classes are long since over We can talk and laugh together
When you're falling down When all hope is gone And you can't carry on Look up and remember these words
Not every superhero wears a mask Some can only wear a smile Showing that they understand another's problems As they work to guide people out of the dark
Sometimes it might feel like no one will listen to you that your troubles aren't enough for people to stop and care
It's hard to ignore fear It will keep you safe, I know It keeps you alive, but see that it doesn't let you live
Fear waits around every corner In every dark alleyway Behind the eyes of every stranger Sheltered in the unseen and unknown
