You Are Not Alone

To whoever will read this poem,
To whoever needs a voice,
Speak up, no matter how hard the task
You need to make the choice.

You may hide behind a smile,
You may have taken your final fall.
But you have people who will catch you,
When their needed most of all.

This big, bad world is not so bad
If you have friends to stand with you.
Just know that you can spread your wings
And fly with others too.

If you are feeling lost
If you are feeling down,
Just know that you are loved here,
And you are not alone.
