Allow Me To Be There For You Poem by Shilesha Johnson

You feel like you have no one in this world
Like you are all alone
Like no one can understand
How you feel inside
You feel like you have no one to turn to
Not even a single friend
no one to care
So you hide
And I get it
I can not understand your struggle
That is something YOU have been through
I have not taken a walk in your shoes
And until I do
I STILL won’t understand
But that does not mean that I cannot be there for you
The best that I can
When you feel like falling
I can pick you up and help you stand
I may not know how you feel
But I can help you get through it and be there for you
I can try to help you
But only if you let me
Im here for you
Just allow me to be
