Reaching Poem by Velvet Thorn

Why does the world seem bleak and dark
There are no stars up in the sky
I want someone to strike a spark
To show me the world is not a lie

I need someone to prove to me
That in this dark and endless night
There is a hope, a chance to see
That soon the sun will shed it's light

I neeed somebody that in life
Can tell me what I need to know
That no more must I feel the knife
Can anybody tell me so?

I'm reaching out, can't you see?
Please, someone, reach back to me.
