Just Hold My Hand

by: Author Unknown,

Don't tell me that you understand, don't tell me that you know

Don't tell me that I will survive, how I will surely grow.

Don't tell me this is just a test, that I am truly blessed

That I am chosen for this task, apart from all the rest.

Don't come at me with answers that can only come from me

Don't tell me how my grief will pass, that I will soon be free.

Don't stand in pious judgement of the bonds I must untie

Don't tell me how to suffer, don't tell me how to cry.

My life is filled with selfishness, my pain is all I see

But I need you, I need your love

Unconditionally. Accept me in my ups and downs, I need someone to share.

Just hold my hand, and let me cry and say"My friend, I care."
