Knock knock,

“Who’s there?”

A list of names

Of those who care.

Your can of worms

Feel empty and dark

But people are waiting for

Your invite to your heart.

“Let us in, Let us in!”

“Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin”

So you huff and you puff

And blow the whole world out!

Anything to prove there’s

No rain in this drought.

Ears perched like a wallflower;

The world isn’t as dark as it seems.

There are those who love you

Beyond those you know as feinds.

They love in silence,

Set you up in success,

Cheering you on, and stressing

When you’re stressed.

But it’s hard to see when

You lock yourself in the basement;

Come out from the cold and into

The world of amazement.

Believe it and you’ll see it-

The warmth and charm

Of those who love and will

Hold you in their arms.

They’ve been watching

You all along,

Waiting for you to believe

That you belong.
