IDK, but I’m here
Written by Emilee Trudo
To all the hopefuls who lost hope
the lovers who lost love
the dreamers who lost their dreams
the believers who lost faith
the lively ones who lost life
the determined who lost their thirst
the peace-keepers who lost the keys
the kind who lost their softness
their zest for the life
their purpose
to those who lost themselves
I have no solutions to offer
no advice
no recovery plan
but I do have these long warm arms
and two open hands
two validating eyes
and a pair of listening ears
a comforting smile
energy to hold space for quite awhile
’cause if I’ve learned anything
it’s that connection is key
and might just
save a life.
