Poetry

I Need You

 

 

As a babe,

helpless, shivering in the cold,
needing warmth, a home, love,
and you provided.

As a child,

I left you every day, to go to school,
to make friends,
except, no one liked me.

 And you were gone.

Leaving me to face the world,

the cold world, among strangers,
who did not understand,
that I was just like them.

Now I am an adult,

ready to conquer,
except I still need help,
and you are back,

Will you stay this time?
