For You

All alone trapped with my thoughts 
excessively fast they would swirl in my head; 
an abundance of words too many to evade. 
Extremely loud it's hard to ignore 
my heart would ache for solitude.

Appearing from darkness a window glides open, 
with a glow made of kindness that gently shines through.

Afraid to move forward for fear of the unknown, 
I slowly approach, but stay at a distance. 
You welcomed me with open arms 
with your words of wisdom; words of support.

You've helped me more than I thought possible 
without hidden assumptions, there are no judgements. 
Because of that I will continue to grow, 
and for you that is why I write this poem.
