Support System
July 29, 2017
Who are my supports
On my journey toward health
Trust is rare for me
I want to have friends
With whom I can spend my time
Best pals live far away
Support means so much
The difference it can have
Goes beyond measure
Even from distance
Friendship eases my troubles
Helps me weather storms
Don't want to discount
Value of kindred spirits
Across horizon
Why is it so hard
For me to interact with
Others my own age
I have always been
Shy, introverted, withdrawn
Come across as snob
Not on purpose, of course
Don't intend to push people
Away- far from true
Quite the opposite
I want people to like me
Hurts that I'm disliked
Am I that aloof?
Perhaps intimidating?
What do others see?
How do I become
A more likable person
And more approachable
It would help to have
A local support system
I have made progress
I go to Tai Chi
Volunteer at AHS
Attend Sunday School
Connections take time
Process not immediate
Too early to tell
