A Part of The Other

The weight of your words bears down on my heart

The height of your plight stares down on my faith

The depth of your pains cuts deep within my soul

 

You smile but inside you’re in tears

You dance but within you’re in a trance

You put up a face though inside you’re in chains

 

But should you bear all of it alone dear?

Why can’t your worries my shoulders share?

If only to make you believe that I truly care

 

Please my caring hands don’t push away

Even if it may not support you always

It will give some hope like the sunrays

 

Though you have a mind of your own

But even you by yourself can’t go it alone

To get to the end, we all need someone

 

You’re my sister, you my friend

We are all a part of one another

Here’s my shoulder please lean on.
