Don’t leave me behind
Musings over World Mental Health Day (10 Oct 2021) & Emotional Wellness Month (Oct)
Don’t leave me behind
I promise I’ll be fine
Don’t leave me behind
They did, and the hurt
Worsened over time.
Don’t leave me behind
I promise I’ll be fine
Don’t leave me behind
Hold my hand
It’s not a crime.
Don’t leave me behind
I promise I’ll be fine
Don’t leave me behind
As my sadness
Falls like a window blind.
Don’t leave me behind
I promise I’ll be fine
Don’t leave me behind
This pain’s hard
My mess a slime.
Don’t leave me behind
I promise I’ll be fine
Don’t leave me behind
Pretend I’m poor
Gimme a nickel or dime.
Don’t leave me behind
I promise I’ll be fine
Don’t leave me behind
Come swiftly now
Throw me a lifeline.
Don’t leave me behind
I promise I’ll be fine
Don’t leave me behind
I need a hug
Someone kind.
Don’t leave me behind
I promise I’ll be fine
Don’t leave me behind
Sit with me
Over a glass of wine?
Don’t leave me behind
Please don’t leave me behind
If you do that again
I promise I’ll never
Ever be fine!
