Sometimes we fail to reach out.
We seem to think
Asking for someone to listen to us
Is a weakness,
And we don't want to appear weak.
So instead of asking,
And receiving,
Much needed help from another human being,
If only a sympathetic pat,
Or an energetic hug,
We lie in bed at night,
And cry ourselves to sleep.

too true...and sometimes all you need is to be understood and that isn't too  much to ask. Good write.

It's a sad poem.
Be assured that the folks here at PIP will lift you up to a joyful day, if you let them.

Be of good cheer.  Rejoice even in your sadness.

Welcome to Pip!

I don't think that this is sad, it is wise!

Because you have gained, through your experience, the awareness that reaching out is of uttermost importance.

Thank you for the reminder.

Well done!

Love,
Margherita
