Joy With You

When we are sitting together and
joking in such a happy way, I am
so truly happy inside.

My close friends who always pick me
up when I am down and the world is
crashing around me, what would I do
without the joy you all provide my
wayward heart?

It's astounding just the amount of
impact you all have upon me.

I build up fake strength, but around
you I am able to show my true fragile
side of my heart and be loved even more
for it.

The joy I feel with all of you leaves
me happy to be alive still, standing before
you all.

Even though I sometimes fall to my knees,
I am not afraid because I know that you all
will be around to build me back up with that
joy you bring me.
