Reach Back

So cold

Turning bitter in fact.

Will the warmth ever return

Criticized for wanting it

Never understood

Why do I live here again?

What makes me stay?

Is it time to move on?

How will I know?

I am cold

I am alone

I am scared

I am broken

I am lost.

Living in fear

The unknown

And the known

Support is there

But not always here

I feel the comfort

I feel the strength

Yet I doubt

And I wonder

Will I ever be brave enough

To reach for the warmth

And ask for it to reach back
