Friends Will Understand

Some may judge and

Think you soft when tears

Become an alibi.

They cannot know, can’t comprehend

The storms that torment deep inside,

The razor wire that pricks and bleeds

Until resolve is washed away,

Where stillness mocks to terrorize

And leaves no harborage to hide. 

 

But softness holds no part of shame

When hearts are ripped and

Torn to shreds,

When loss is real and

Karma steals all reason of reality.

These wells are deep and

Filled with demons

Void of hope and sweet redemption,

Praying for extended hands

Straining to bear empathy. 

 

Each day a struggle to survive

On limbs of rubber, feet of sand.

Strangers mock and taunt and tease, but

Friends, true friends, will understand.
