Beaten, bruised and confused  through a long day protecting you from yourself. Lost in the streets only to find each direction pointing anywhere but home. Yesterday's hope is tomorrow's sorrow when you realize the sun never shines on a shadow.  Softly yet slowly I hear you pick up your feet and walk forward out of the darkness. You revealed your face, your heart and soul in that one moment but never said a word.

   Never really given a chance; I rest but for a moment and come to your side once again. You never ask for help but your eyes look for it. You never say a word but your heart cries when your eyes are closed. I can't fly to your side because I am always there but your hand never receives it only takes.

   Open your heart and feel my daily pain. Open your ears and hear the cries. Open your eyes and realize what you are doing. One heart can change a life, one life can change a soul and one soul can change everything.

  For now I just go to rest.
