Reach

Reach
When you are tired
And the waters are rising

When you have tried for so long not to feel
To shut out sadness, fear, and desolation
But found when you were done
That you could not banish emptiness
Reach.

When you have fought for countless years
But still the enemy is at the gates
If you feel you have no hope
And no more fight left to give
As a last testament to who you were
Shout.

And I promise you
There are those of us,
Though our number is sometimes small
That know the sound
Who have voiced the same anguish
And love you enough
To listen

We will take your hand
Though it may be all you can do
To break the surface

We will swim with you
To where the pull is not so strong
We will keep you afloat

So at your last
Please remember to reach.
