The Support


Alone in a room I stand. A single light shines down on me. I feel empty and numb. There's really no feeling at all. Im not sure who I am or who I can be. I feel two hands on one arm. They lift it out straight. Warmth shoots right to my heart and for a moment I feel something. Then it vanishes without a trace. Myself and another in that same room. Two lights shine down on us. A second pair of hands grasp my other arm. As my heart quickly beats, I feel comfort and a rush. Time goes by, more people come with all kinds of light they bring. Lifting me, carrying the weight of my body, these people are here to save and help me. I begin to see them. Who they are. My family and friends hold me up. Filling my soul, my heart, and body with love and strength I errupt with joy. The room is full as they bring me down. On solid ground I stand. Strong hands hold me still and comfort my mind. The support I needed was found.
