Life

I was feeling uneasy and alone,

Every part of me felt torn.

My heart was palpitating,

Blood rushed and life was fainting.

My tears kept flowing, and sweat covered my palm,

A hand reached out and made me feel calm.

I vented and cried, my heart felt lighter,

Life felt a little different, a little brighter.

Slowly and steadily, my mind was in a better place,

I would like to thank each hand that offered me solace.

You will never be alone, always have faith,

Trust the timing of your life, let go of all the wraith.

Live to the fullest and embrace each day,

Life is too short to eat, love and pray.
