Banana Peel

Banana peel
Tell me
How you feel
So that I know
That this is real
Banana peel
Slip and slide
Only as soft
As you are
Inside
That includes everything
That you try to hide
Because you have
Such pride
You can’t let
Your pride get
In the way
Of what you
Want to say
You know that I’ll listen
Anyway
To anything
You have to say
To anything
You want to say
Please don’t push me away
Don’t keep me
At arm’s length
Show me
That you have
The strength
So that I may have
The strength
To carry on
Without you
To do
The things
I have to
While I wait
For you
