#30in30 2019, Day 9: Lifeline

Could you use a lifeline?

If you felt like you were drowning
and the world was swallowing you up
and it wasn't that you didn't know how to swim
but the pressure and the waves were too rough

Could you use a lifeline?

If it got so dark around you
that you needed someone, anyone to call
but you didn't want the judgment from friends
or to risk amusing strangers, or anyone else at all?

Could you use a lifeline?

when it got hard.
when you felt stuck.
when you felt abandoned and neglected
and like you were down on your luck.

I would like to try
to reassure you, to motivate
when the world is cruel, to show you kindness
to protect you and remind you that you are great

Can I be your lifeline?
