people all around me

people all around me
with arms wide open
they care for me
as they share my sorrow.

people are all around me
with welcoming hugs
as i enter a positive place
and encouraging me to keep going.

people are all around me
as i share my joys
of finding another friend
and someone i will trust.

people are all around me
as i find positive people
to share my joys and sorrows
and they won't degrade me.

people are all around me
giving supportive hugs
as i shed tears
of past pain.

people are all around me
hugs are shared
and i move forward in life
and i feel supported.
