“Im here for you” is a poem I wrote a while back when I was having a bad day, and a friend reached out to me to check up on me. It made me think about how there are some people in your life that will sit through the storms with you. And while sometimes it’s hard to reach out when you are struggling, I promise you that there is always someone out there who cares for you and who is willing to listen to your concerns.


After a heavy night
The bags under your eyes
Want to be popped
The weight of the blanket seems impossible to take off.
You’re stuck again
Until eventually you get out of bed
And you stop
you get up to nourish yourself
But your body throbs
You change
wash up
Put your earbuds in
To silence the noises from outside to within
Somethings not right
When will it end
You keep skipping songs.
Until suddenly
You hear lyrics
That encompass your existence
That listen to you and become your assistants
Next thing you know
You get a notification on your phone
From someone you’ve known
They say hello
And things start to look brighter
Things start to unfold
You’ve wanted to distance yourself.
Until you realize their tone
Of wanting to soothe you
And it goes
“I’m here for you through the highs and the lows.” -nimra
