Relations…!

Relations – what are they supposed to be

To tie one down, or set us free

To be a steppingstone, or block our way 

To let us shine or cast a cloud grey!

Relations – how should they be

A fresh breeze caressing

The first drops of rain

Warmth of winter sun

A key to all chains

A shoulder to lean on

A helping hand in need

A pat on our back

A fall back for deeds 

A comforting bed at night

A very warm hug

A ray of light in dark

Never a cold shrug… 

Relations – why don’t they offer peace

Why the constant strife? 

To feel belonged by them – 

Why do I have to lose my piece… by piece…!
