Maybe I Can't

Maybe I can't stop global warming
Maybe I can't save the Polar Bears
Maybe I can't feed all the starving children of the world

And maybe I can't save you
from jumping off the edge of the cliff
plummeting down
            down
              down
farther and farther away
from everyone else.

Maybe you'll be at the bottom of the cliff
curled up by yourself
and maybe I can't stop you
But I can sure be the ladder back up
If you change your mind.

This isn't directed at anybody in particular, maybe from time to time but not this second...

    WHAT?! YOU CAN'T STOP GLOBAL WARMING AND SAVE THE POLAR BEARS?!?!?!?!?!?! I don't know you anymore KT, I just don't.
    But other than the fact this makes me not know you it was very very very good. I liked it..

    But I can sure be the ladder back up
    If you change your mind. ---- that's good you should use that in a story or something. I liked this poem very much.

    I totally give you three clappy men.

    Ahhh, this is wonderful. We cannot control many things, like global warming (as you state) and we cannot control others behavior. but we can be there for them when they stumble and fall. great job on this one.
