Let me be with you

 Let me sit beside you for a while,

Walk with me, I’ll walk with you for a mile.
Say it out loud, I’m all ears for you,
Tell me what’s going on, I’ll help you through.
You can hold my hand and share your fear,
Talk to me just like you talk to yourself, my dear.
Don’t doubt me, my friend, I understand that you feel so empty and hollow,
Unlike the vicious world that gave you grief and sorrow.
You’ll always have my hand to hold, you’ll always have my back and support,
I’ll be your partner for life, don’t be scared to step up, I’ll be your escort.
I am always there, inseparably with you,
Close your eyes and listen—who are you hearing, too?
If you look for me around, I’m the shadow you see on the ground,
If you try to feel me, I’m the brain, mind, heart, and soul your body surrounds.
