Not alone
I was in a place, on my own, all alone,
didn’t have a friend, made mistakes, I guess it showed.
You gave the time, tea and held my hand,
Listened to my life and smiled, like I wasn’t mad.
Problems that seemed so big, you said weren't that bad,
writing each of them off and telling me i'll be ok,
Gave me a hug, made me realise I didn't have to run away.
If not for you i wouldn’t be here, you taught me not to give in to fear.
You made me see that I was in control,
brought back those feelings that I used to know,
Hunger, determination, and that ‘get up and go’.
You gave me the power to define myself,
by just believing in me, with a little extra help.
I almost gave up, it was one thing after another,
But because of you i will always fight back, always recover.
