Helping Hands

She is holding the heavy weight of pain
Her shoulders are sagging as she’s worn down
Every day her strength is drawn down the drain
It won’t be long before she hits the ground

It’s a shock no one can sense her despair
She longs for someone to show her kindness
And yet, why should anyone really care
The night just closes her eyes in blindness

Despite all the pain, she holds on tight
To the bright hope she has kept in her soul
She knows that one day it will be alright
And so she waits to escape from the hole

Little does she know that it was all planned
For you to reach down and give her a hand
