Poem: I want to Hug You

I want to hug you

But I’m too far away

I don’t know your country

I don’t know your state

I don’t know your town

All I know is that you’re down

I want to hug you

And tell you it’s okay

I want to make the doubts go away

If I can’t vanquish your fears

I’m sorry. I’m rather crummy.

I know there’s very little I can say

To help dissolve your doubts

And show you the rainbows

That are all around you

I want to hug you

But I’m too far away

I don’t know your country

I don’t know your state

I don’t know your town

All I know is you’re down

I want to hug you

And tell you it’s okay

You think you’re too childish

That you need to grow up

That your childhood dreams

Aren’t something you can achieve

You’re doubting your skills

And you’re uninspired

And through your computer

You share your feelings

I read your words

And my chest begins to ache

I want to hug you

But I’m too far away

I don’t know your country

I don’t know your state

I don’t know your town

All I know is that you’re down

I want to hug you

And tell you it’s okay

Growing up doesn’t mean leaving your dreams behind

Growing up means reaching for your skies

Achieving your childhood dreams

The child in you will glimmer with pride

We all have times when we doubt ourselves

There’s nothing I can say to remove all those doubts

All I can do to make you feel better

Is hug you

I want to hug you

But I’m too far away

I don’t know your country

I don’t know your state

I don’t know your town

All I know is that you’re down

I want to hug you

And tell you it’s okay

I want to hug you

But I’m too far away

I don’t know your country

I don’t know your state

I don’t know your town

All I know is that you’re down

I want to hug you

And tell you it’s okay

All I know is that you’re down

All I can do to make you feel better

I want to hug you
