i crawled
inside myself
to escape the pain

i locked myself away
in this tattered box
to keep the despair at bay

i saw you there
cowering from the sickness
and i wanted to reach out to you
to let you know that someone cares

but i didn’t
how could i?
i didn’t really know if anyone cared
about our problems
our ‘disease’.

and now
here i stand,
years past and months later
twirling at the edge
singing to you
trying to let you know
that we are here

somehow
we are all here
to pick you up
when you begin to fall
