Christmas can do funny things
To those who are shattered and broke
The festive time can be difficult
Such sad feelings it can evoke
If you are already feeling alone
Christmas is a lonely time
For a head that is confused
Can stress a worried mind
Into the depths of despair
Some poor souls do fall
Christmas has thrown them in
Upon their hands and knees they crawl
It's a dark place to be
When all around you is bright
It's an ever hard struggle
Inner demons you constantly fight
For some it's all too much
They just want the pain to end
Their leaving of this life
Into turmoil, their families are sent
To lose someone you love
Is a heartbreaking loss
Just before christmas
Is a barrier so hard to cross
So if you see someone sad
During this festive time
Try and give your hand
Reach out and show a face so kind
For some this can mean
So so very much
It can bring happiness
Just from a gentle touch
