you think youre safe,
there in your nest?
you think youre above,
all the rest?
nothing can happen,
to you at all,
you will always stay,
mighty and tall?
bad things happen,
to everyone,
one second youre standing,
the next youre gone.
toppled over,
far below,
bewildered and confused,
from all those blows.
parents divorced,
close ones die,
getting bullied,
friends leave your side.
going bankrupt,
losing your job,
failing grades,
no time to sob.
for some of us,
this is life,
forever and always,
pain and strife.
you maybe new,
but i am stronger,
so welcome in,
i’ll help you-i’m no stranger.
