SOMEONE TO STAY
by Vancouver Sleep Clinic
“We all need someone to stay.” Everyone needs someone who will support, guide, and love them unconditionally. Someone who will never judge and leave them despite what he or she is going through. Someone you can run to when the world is against you. People experience hardships in life that they cannot overcome alone, and the saddest thing that will ever happen to your life is seeing yourself alone and realizing that no one will be there for you. Everyone knows how difficult it is to fight alone; it is suffocating and gives the feeling of loneliness. A loneliness that will make you lose yourself.
The first line, “You were alone, left out in the cold,” reminds me of a time during the pandemic when I was struggling and the feeling of loneliness was killing me. I fought it alone and try to be the better version of myself but I realized that fighting alone changed everything. Asking for someone who will stay by my side but why do people think that I am their enemy? All I want is to have someone that will listen to every pain I've gone through. Someone who I can trust and talk to while being myself. Someone who will give me hope and will make me feel better. There was a time that I felt very depressed, waiting for someone to hug me but ending the day without receiving one. Waiting for someone who will ask if I am okay, or just someone who won't leave me to cry and hurt alone. One of the reasons why a hug is very valuable to me is because I know to myself that if someone hugged me that day I would be happier today. On that day, I came to the realization that no one is there for me when I'm in pain, no one is aware of how I'm losing myself, and no one is aware of how I'm gradually giving up.
Fighting alone exhausted me, but it also taught me lessons that made me a stronger person. I now understand that I must handle things by myself and that, in the end, I am all that I have. But, still, wish that someone will be there through my ups and downs.
Someone who’ll STAY, LOVE and FIX me.
