Reach Out

By Vedant Dave

Doubt forms in the mind.
Sadness taking over.
The tragedy we witness everywhere.
A sickness we did not expect.

Millions perish
Pressure coming from all sides.
The line crossed many times.
The final straw.

A cure there is
But a cure not many take.
Afraid of the symptoms that come with.
The weight they can not handle.

Their trust betrayed.
A secret no more.
Many experience the pain.
A friend they do not have.

But a friend they do need.
Reach out to them.
Give them a hand to grab.
Bring them to the light.

Show them, they are not alone.
Show them, there is a reason.
Show them, they are loved.
Show them, YOU care.
