A Friend

By Skyler Young

The idea of being alone,

Though our species is so vast,

Still exists so greatly.

Science may say impossible,

But in a human mind that concept takes no place,

I know this feeling.

The world seems so dark.

You feel so helpless.

It seems there is no escape from this one idea.

So small and insignificant.

As if it is you, yourself.

I know this feeling.

It emits a closed yet so distinct aura.

But nobody helps.

You tell yourself they don’t care.

You tell yourself they’re selfish.

Or maybe, could they just be scared?

I know this feeling

Then there is The One

Who sees past what the others do not.

He holds out His hand and lifts you up.

You’re a different person,

In a different world.

I know this feeling.
