You look so peaceful
Standing there all alone
Wish I could help you
When your hope is finally gone
But I can't reach you
'Cause I've gone numb inside
Wish I could feel you
So I could be alive
How do I get there?
To that place where it all makes sense?
How do I wake up
And not want to go back to sleep again?
How can I be real
In this world where nothing's true?
How do I get there?
How can I get to you?
I've lived in shadows
And I won't go back again
I'm still emerging
Still running from the pain
How can I heal you
When I'm still hurt inside?
I see in your eyes
That you want to feel alive
How do I get there?
To that place where it all makes sense?
How do I wake up
And not want to go back to sleep again?
How can I be real
In this world where nothing's true?
How do I get there?
How can I get to you?
What do you think?

I like the use of the questions, basing the poem around your uncertainty. I really felt your desperation to help, and there was a subtle fear in here for both the person you wanted to help and yourself. Good, fluid write.

So many questions that most of us ask at certain times of struggles in our lives. These questions are full of so much emotion and pain, and I like the way you have set this up. A very nice write! Blessings, Patty
