The awesome stranger looked at me
So afraid to hold him
Because of fear of the unknown
He called out to me with his luring eyes
Begging me to take my share of gold
The unknown kept holding me back
Telling me to stay put never to move
Packing on its many bricks on my back
Adding its epitome of negativity as an extra load to carry
I forced my way up but failed miserable to stand up
With eyes wide open I saw the awesome stranger stretching out his hands
Even his reassurance to help falls on deaf ears
Even with his irresistible perspective
I was forced to look away
Even though my heart yearned to hold him
The unknown held me tight telling me he will never let go.
