For Them
Do I feel you?
Peaceful,
Like drowning in cloud,
Absorbing my screams until I can scream no longer.
Do I hear you?
Hope,
Speaking out to me every day,
Telling me to breathe, telling me to hope.
Do I see you?
Sweetness,
Lacy fondant in your brain,
Reminding me to smile again, it’s okay to be happy.
Do I know you?
Nonchalant,
You are your own opinion,
I am my own opinion, thanks to you.
Do I remember you?
Freedom,
Living your life as only you can,
Teaching me to live my life too.
Do I understand you?
Ideas,
Overfilling your brain,
Spilling into my ears and onto my paper.
This is my paper.
