In the Company of
When feeling down or feeling sad
Feeling just a little mad
That I failed expectation
Lost myself to temptation
What keeps me up?
When I’m feeling down?
What pulls me back?
When I’m not myself?
In a desert of despair, dismay
An oasis of friends, family that say
Refreshing words that clear my doubt.
They give me shade like an aloof cloud
And that’s how I begin to heal
My wounds will begin to seal.
With words that wash away the pain
Soothing company everyday,
That’s when I begin to realize
In a world of immeasurable size
That I was ne’er alone.
With company, into the world I go.
This poem is about:
Me
My family
My community
Our world
