Sometimes you can’t look forward, your head is in the sand
You simply cannot cope with all that life demands
Each day the road is longer and you keep stepping back
You’ve lost all faith in truly getting back on track
They urge you to be brave, to go and ask for help
You chance it, never knowing the cards you may be dealt
We share our deep emotions, lay bare to them our soul
In the hope that we may once again feel whole
Sadly all too often disappointment lies ahead
Confidences betrayed mess further with your head
They may try to break your spirit reduce you down to tears
Manipulative approaches confirming your worst fears
Abandonment then solitude can send you right back to square one
But you must not let that happen because then they will have won
Somewhere in the night sky is your shining star
Even if you doubt this or the sky just seems too far
There is a special someone who will listen, show they care
A person who is there for you, always always there
And slowly through their kindness you will see the light
That there just could be a future for you out there shining bright
They will soothe and comfort you, offer you relief
Give you the strength and courage to find your inner self belief
Never give up fighting for that which you deserve
To feel happy in your own skin and to let your voice be heard
