Stand By Me Poem by Charlie F. Kane

Stand by me,
Because I think I’m going to fall.
I see myself hitting the ground,
And it is my own doing.
I need someone to help me out.

Stand by me,
Because I need you beside me,
I need you to guide me
Through this dark time,
And make me see the light.

I can see myself falling,
Hitting the ground
Because I need to hate something,
And I am the easiest target,
So please stand by me.
