Oh! You Are Not Alone – A Poem by Hamna Shahid
The burdens that you carry
the sleepless nights you spend
Seethe helping hands that you fend
the tears that you wipe away
Oh! you are not alone
the opinions that shatter your heart
the laughing faces that mock you
the titters that break you
the daggers that people dart
Oh! you are not alone
the world’s big, bigger than me
it’s filled with all that I can never see
a leaf fell, a heart broke,
someone shattered, oceans apart
Oh! you are not alone
just a mere drop in the ocean
that’s what you and me are
though this little drop has the notion
to bring change from afar
Oh! you are not alone
and you’ll never be all alone…
