Notes About The Poem

Hold Tight

When you are so far away
In mind, in life, in feeling, in being
So far away, too far to say
I am so alone, is anyone seeing
What I am? For I cannot
Robot

When you are so far away
Someone should hold your hand
But you cannot find a way
to ask, because you're numb, and
What are you, puppet?
Tired

So please reach out and take
My hand in yours, I am here
Please, hold on, for my sake
Feel my pain, feel my fear
Grab, and don't let go
No!
