So much negativity
Floating around
In the air
These days

It crashes into me
Often unawares
And I find myself
Struggling to breathe

So I call you
We talk
You listen
I listen
And when
We’re done
I feel better

That is the power
Of friendship
Love
Acceptance
A place to tell
The truth

A common purpose
United and unfocused
Dissolving stress
So that we might find
Momentary peace
In this crazy world
