A Cold Corner of Life

Whenever I feel scared

and there is no one to give me courage.. 

Whenever I fall down

and there is no one to pull me up.. 

Whenever I feel sad 

and there is no shoulder to cry on.. 

Whenever I have to walk a long way alone,

through the darkness and rain,

with no one watching over me..

Whenever I feel sick 

and there’s no one to take care of me.. 

I tell myself, 

"You are just learning a part of growing up in this cold and cruel world."
