A Letter From Someone To You

Sometimes I get stuck in my own thoughts And my thoughts go around and around and you’re always there to bring me up or down You help me put my feet back on the ground You say to me that when I’m forming my own bubble that I need my pride at times but to stay humble You say to look at the ground and remember this one thing That on the other side there are so many things That I am both below and above someone else You remind that I am not the worst or the best because we all have our valleys and mountains We all got to learn to climb and we got to learn to fall and everyone around the world is learning how to stand tall But sometimes we cry so much we form an ocean so we learn to sail above the tears but we still got our fears so when I get scared you are my anchor and my compass And you remind me many things will come to pass and everyone is like the stars in their own way that’s why we are always reaching for them but they are so far away They change from day to day you say to me but I’ve always thought they looked the same and I’m afraid of heights So I’ve never tried to go up to see them, but I know one helped a lonely sailor once And now they sail the oceans, each so far from home so they made their own sailing above their sadness yet surrounded by it
