Teach Me

When the silence is sound,
When your shadow is bombarded by loneliness
And the only source of balance is gravity
That is when life surprises you with many of its little gifts.
My inner strength has proven itself to be above amazing,
Survival skills, I should host seminars
Hence I humble myself before you with this heavy burden
That has chosen me as its life-long companion
I set it down and admit that
I need to be cared for,
To not be rejected.
I want someone to hold my hand,
To wipe my tears,
To calm my fears
And to not leave me alone.
Teach me how to allow a person to care for me.
Do you not think accepting kindness and joy is a more painful lesson,
Than breathing cruelty and sadness?
