Day 104 - Remote Control

REMOTE CONTROL
 
I met someone today
who is really struggling.
She is carrying so much more
than I could ever imagine.
 
She spoke so little
and I have no idea
of what she is trying to
cope with at home.
 
The success of others around her
instead of encouraging her,
only seems to magnify
her pain.
 
I do not know how to respond
to the dullness in her eyes.
 
Words do not seem to help
for they only emphasise
the chasm between us
and where she is stranded.
 
All I can do is to try
and be there
and to ask love
to sort it out, please.
