Not Alone

Not Alone

A Poem by A.Lee

How long will you drift on in sadness

Never seeing that I'm here?

How long will you cry out in pain

When I've been there to dry your tears?


You're terrified to take a step

Although I clear the path before you

So afraid to come to harm

Although I said I'd see you through


I've held your hand on the darkest days

When you were cold, you felt my embrace

I'm here to keep you safe and sound

To keep your feet firm on the ground


How long before you realize

What I would give to see those eyes

Light up in peace and happiness

No longer dimmed by all the stress


No matter what you're going through

I'm always here to comfort you

My love for you will not subside

No matter what you feel inside

Great work Cat! This one really applies to me, new kid on the campus. Sure would be nice to meet someone like you way down here on the campus of USM.
Keep it up, darlin'! BZ

Your words are necessary for husband, children and family. I learn with many errors to be quiet and have a smile and a open door. The poem is powerful. Everyone need to someone to tell them. Everything will be Ok. We can fix the problem. A outstanding poem.

I connected this with my relationship with my mother. When I open my eyes, I really do see that she only loves me, but when I squint, all I see is anger or sadness. I don't know if any of that was what your poem was going for, but I was able to relate this to my actual life. Amazing.

I am alone ...it must be nice to have someone who feels this way. I don't have anyone like that in my life. This made me sad.

This is definitely a piece that I can relate to. It's very honest and the flow of it is perfect. I personally can't count how many times I've offered friends and family who have made me feel this exact same way. My advice is for you to keep on pressing and pushing because the best thing you can do is offer what God has blessed you to bless others with. Beautiful!
