Safety

We reach out
To people
Who we can't
Talk to in
Person

We reach out
To people who
Won't email us
Back

We reach out
To people we
Get frustrated with
Who get frustrated
With us

We reach out
Hoping they'll
Do the same
Wishing they'll
Put their trust
In us
Like we put ours
In them

We reach out
Even though we
Just know
They'll never
Talk to us
About it

We reach out
So that we
Can be there
In the rare event
They'll open up
And talk to us

We reach out
Even though
They seem to
Reject us
All the time
