Do you Dare

Do you dare

Do you dare to talk with me
and listen in silence to what I say?

Do you dare to hear my pain and sorrow
or do you rather walk away?

Do you dare to look at me
and see me for who I really am?

Do you dare to ask me how I am
instead of filling it in?

Do you dare to respect my anger
without telling me it’s wrong?

Do you dare to walk along with me
in contradiction to what you normally do
moving on as fast as you can?

Do you dare to cry with me
for what I have lost?

Do you dare to hold my hand
and love me for who I am?
