My Only Friends Are Oreos
You came running to me with those misty eyes of yours.
Not able to talk because you're drowning, trying to swallow your sweet sorrows.
As I watched you tremble before me I could see in your head you were battling wars.
Not sure if you can make it through any more tomorrows.
As you give up, collapsing in my arms.
I bring you in holding on tight.
How has no one heard all your screaming alarms?
I whisper in your ear to let you know "You're going to be alright.
Let it all out, let it all go.
We both know that this demon is dragging you down.
He wants you to feel so worthless and low.
But take my hand, we'll get out of this town.
Out of these destructive feelings of despair.
I'm letting you know it's ok, I'm right here."
As you scream, "LIFE ISN'T FAIR!"
I know you're living in fear.
Everyday is a nightmare and a struggle to keep your head up.
You've been hurt one too many times.
Everything happens when we are young, no one thinks this is how we will develop.
Who knew that this would be so ingrained into you, into your smallest enzymes?
But I see you, you matter.
You make my life and the World a better place.
You might not think the latter.
But it's true, you have an affect on everyone who sees your lovely face.
Stay in my arms as long as you need to.
You're not facing this alone.
I'll be right here with you.
You will NEVER be on your own.
