At times life seems to have come to a dead end
There seems to be no one to talk to, no one who a hand can lend.
There is so much to talk about, so much to say
So much of anguish, frustration and despair.
But when I look around all that I can see
Are strange faces full of deceit.
The feelings are hidden deep within
Waiting to come out, waiting for someone to listen.
But I don’t know why, there is a fear
A fear of betrayal, a fear of unknown pressures from peers.
I am scared, as I don’t know what they will think
Would they understand, make fun of me or with blankness just blink.
Or would they after hearing me out run away
Leaving me stranded, helpless and frail.
I know that someone is somewhere around
All I need to do is look up or turn around.
That someone could be somewhere right there
Supporting me silently by never going away
Maybe they have been there all along
And I have taken them for granted or on them my difficulties didn’t want to impound.
Maybe its time I open my eyes and see
That there are people who can be trusted and who are there for me.
People who I have never given that chance
Because things seemed safe and sound deep in my heart.
But maybe its time that the chance was taken
Till when would I grieve and deal with my own burdens.
Happiness grows greater by leaps and bounds when shared
But sharing worries just lessens the level of despair
I just need that light, that ray of hope
To show me the person who I can take a chance on.
All I need to do is take one chance
On that one person who is there for me whenever behind I glance.
