reassure

hold my hand
as you hold
my heart
as we hold each other
pillars of stability
no
drug lord
or
personal trainer
could motivate
one to
carry this weight
tonnage hit me
deep
so deep that it
left me
searching for
street corners
a foreigner
in my backyard
looking for a familiar face
among self-portraits
the first step
to safety
can sometimes be the
furthest
from solid ground
but one touch
support
that isnt automated
is always
appreciated
no one wants to be on hold
but to be held
is help
