Sometimes

Sometimes I need to speak
 To help make life easier to swallow
And give a voice
To my strength

 Sometimes I need a challenge
 To push past the barriers
That hold me back
And feel the victory

Sometimes I need to get lost
 In lazy days and magical places
Pampering my soul
And letting go

 Sometimes I need a heart-felt word
 Of friendship and support
To lift me up
Off the ground

Sometimes I need to get a bigger picture,
 To understand the pain and loss
 Suffered by all humanity
 And feel the rawness.

Sometimes I need to self reflect,
 To meet my inner child
 And revisit old trauma
 Through the eyes of an adult.

Sometimes I need to let my heart flow
 In plain and simple truth
 And receive the same
 From an honest soul

Sometimes I just need confidence
 To see the world differently
 To accept the paradoxes of life
 Through sound words of wisdom.

Sometimes I need a thoughtful comment
 To let me know I’m not alone
 To help me see empathy
 And restore my faith

Sometimes I just need you
