Subject: Reaching

Reaching out for friends
on the first day of school

Reaching out for times to play together
when you're busy

Reaching for the pull-up bar
in gym that's two feet too high

Reaching for the smile inside
not able to take the laughs

Reaching out to stop the tears
but they keep on coming

Reaching out for sympathy
and getting nothing back

Reaching out for understanding of what went wrong
and getting names and insults
that you really aren't

Reaching for confessions
all I got was more trouble

Reaching for trust
that was soon betrayed

Reaching inside myself
and finding no comfort

Reaching for the stories in books
that aren't as good as friends

Reaching for advice
that I took in hope I'd better

Reaching for acceptance
it seemed it might be true

Reaching for the truth
I was soon rejected

Am I done reaching
is there anything left
to reach for
that won't hurt me?
