Down among the broken ones

 

DOWN AMONG THE BROKEN ONES

 

Come down among the broken ones

Who gave their hearts away

Who tried to help, who tried to love

All those who came their way.

 

Come down among the lost ones

Whose way of being died

Who gave their all, till all was gone

And darkness lit their way.

 

Come down among the lonely ones

Who tried so hard to please

Who noticed when in need themselves

That all had gone away.

 

Come down, my love, and don’t be scared

For nothing is as it seems

Here in the depths of loneliness

Is the medicine you need.

 

Come down and feel your beating heart

The breath between your thoughts

Cradle your fragile, tender soul

And notice where you are.

 

The life you knew is over

Shed tears for all that seems lost

But notice too the birds and trees

You were once too blind to see

 

You had to lose the life you had

It hurts, I know, but soon

You will find yourself standing in the light

Of who you really are
