Stay still my soul

Quiet sleepless exhausting nights

Existential questions shrivel the heart

Pillow and sleep  miles apart

Muffled sobs, terror filled cries

Perplexing ponders, unending why’s

Little girl left alone

Wandering alleys, seeking home

Stares into empty eyes

Broken promises, hypocritical lies

Why wont acceptance comes with ease

Limitless uncaring people to please

Bending morals, a God silent

Calm exterior, the inside is violent

Inquiries for the brokenness inside

From the self the need to hide

Like a kite-string holding strong the kite

The past grabs on, not leaving the fight

If the string breaks, in the wind it will flay

From side to side the boat will sway

Where will it anchor, who’ll be its guide

Where will she all her fears confide

Friends leave, no one is there

The only thing permanent is fear

Negative imagery bombarding the mind

Zombied people, continuously on the grind

She  watches, shattered and scared

Thinking of when she believed people cared

I do

Your best freind

With comfort and warmth in my eyes

Knowing, you being you is the ultimate prize

Your worth is by the scars on your skin

Your family is not necessarily your kin

Smile everyday, meditate a bit

Sometimes, let your ego take the hit

Be scared, do it all again

Completely let your story begin

Ive been there since forever and more

To you fully with my heart adore

I am the teddybear you hugged so tight

I am the friend for whom you got into the fight

The old lady you helped cross the street

The cute little baby, with wrinkly feet

I am your soul, your very best part

Listen to me kid, now take this to heart

Dont let the questions haunt you again

You have the strength to bear the pain

Be still and gain strength from me

I was there, am here and will forever be
