How

How can I be what you want me to be? How can I stay strong? Be that piller of courage you need. Your pain tears down my walls. Your tears pierce through my heart. How do I let you cry on my shoulder, when I'm trying not to cry for you? How can I tell you to smile, when only thinking of you stops me? How can I hold your hand, show you the way out, when even I have never been so lost? How can I teach you to walk the tight rope, when I am even shaking with the pain? How can I do anything for you, besides feel the pain with you? Frown and cry with you. Let you hold onto my hand while I hold onto yours. Find the hope, the way out together. Walk the tight rope together. More importantly....... staying and being with you.

Additional Notes:
The reasons why there are so many different sentences toward the end of the poem, is because to me, it is a new thought that comes into my head. Ways in wich I can help that I didn't think of prior to writing it down.
