I watched every step I made |
"You're welcome here" She said, as she showed me to my bed. She gave me an extra pillow, And a blanket with flowers of yellow. She showed me around her house And bought me a new blouse. I watched every step I made, Because I was afraid. But she said, "don't fright, We don't bite." Still uncertain, I hid behind the curtain. I shed a few tears, For I had way too many fears. One day I cried And she sat by my side. I said how I felt I should be dead, And she said, "darling, lift up your sweet head. You're here Until we can find the cure." "The cure for what?" I asked. "Your feelings are too masked" She said with her arm around me, "I know you have more feelings than a tree, You need to let things out. Is there anything you would care to talk about?" I let out a sigh And asked her why But then I thought About how I felt so caught. I told her everything Even if it meant nothing. She didn't act surprised, or hurt. She just sat there, and gave me support. I no longer cried. Oh, how I never felt such pride! Before I knew it, it was time to leave, So I put on my long sleeve. I saw my parents with smiles on their faces As I tied my laces. With a hug, she said I was always welcome there, And I knew she really did care. July 2, 2013 |
