Pick Me Up

And its the price I pay
For being friends with guys
They don't understand
That I'm not as tough as them
And that's ok
Because I know...
I trust...
That they would never intentionally hurt me

Listen To The Silence
As You Watch Her Fall


Their hands reached out to catch me
But they missed
And it hurt.
I landed on the edge
I landed alone
And I had to try and be tough
But they saw right through me
They knew it hurt

And there they were
With their hands held out
Offering their help
And for the first time in my life
I held my hands out
And joined hands with them
And let them help me
For I was tired of doing this by myself

"I'm Sorry I Didn't Catch You"


Its ok
You helped me back up

That's more than I would ever ask for

    Awww I really liked this one. I loved the ending, especially...how they all helped pick you back up, but you let them help you this time. It's not easy, god know it's not easy to give your world up to someone (s) and trust them not to drop it or destroy it.

     

    This poem reminds me of when I first met my best guy friend Dan, only about 2 years ago now, and how I kept falling and he was the first person to ever catch me. It's nice to know that there are people there to take care of you sometimes, especially if you're struggling :]

     

    Simply beautiful =D

    It sounds as if you trust one guy in particular it seems, and dont admit that, 'weakness', it will only make them seem more paowerful. I can tell the caring kind by this write. well done.

    I too was more friends with guys, they missed seeing you needing to be picked up because they don't feel the emotions the way we do, but on the flip side they don't become moody with us and friends one day and not the next either! Really loved your write you nailed it. Blessings.
