Poetry for people who could use a little kindness
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
You rest on my pillow beside me Smiling when I smile at you You rest your head on my shoulder when no one else is around
I hear you creeping through the night spindly fingers reaching closer whispering in my ear reminding me why I should be afraid
Little angel falling through the sky broken heart bringing you down while you struggle to fly
No one can tell you who you're meant to be But remember that a chameleon has its own beauty
Who am I? I don't know what it means to be me I don't know what my voice sounds like
(For the Rosato Family)
Sit right down, there's plenty of room You'll see happiness and joy bloom Squeeze in if you have to, we're all family here There's more than just us, we're far and near It's fine if you don't know everyone's name You're part of the family all the same
When the darkness sets in and you don't know where to go Close your eyes and focus There's more to this, you must know
