When I’m With You Poem by Ulysses Cabinatan

I am weak without you
like a horse without a bridle
hard to control
difficult to lead in an unhindered direction

like a spacesuit without an astronaut
it cannot move alone
nor it be send to a mission
as it is only a spacesuit

like a glove without a hand
Like a pupa that cannot leave its cocoon
like a traveler with no direction
like an olive tree that bears no fruit

I am weak without you
lacking in willpower, lacking in courage, lacking in strength
When I’m with you, I am assured
that my days will be happy and filled with joy.
