You are not alone

[.... for a friend who's in a bad place]

The sky is very dark

It feels as if the blackness and the gloom

will never go away.....

The clouds press down.....

.... and my world feels so flat

The clouds are so dark...

..... the thicker they are

the darker they look....

From where I stand underneath

it feels as though I will be crushed

In my head I know that the sun still shines

.... above the clouds the sun 

turns the blackness into shining white

But I'm underneath.... not on top

....  and I feel so flat.

But wait!

I feel a hand on my shoulder.....

.... you are here!  

You stand behind me

..... and put your arms around me

I am not alone!  I am not alone! 

If you are with me then the gloom is gone

.... and it becomes a shared time. 

I am not alone.
