Image for the poem You were there

You were there

   
when I was in a delusional state    
with no one to watch over me    
you were there    
   
*    
   
the times I got behind the wheel    
demons chasing me    
going a hundred miles an hour down the highway  
completely out of my mind    
you kept me and others safe    
   
*    
   
with silent whispered reminders    
you told me to rest    
even if I couldn't sleep    
   
*    
   
such a painful time it was    
starved because I would forget to eat    
you fed me wild berries off an obliging tree    
   
*    
   
all these things I forget    
when I let my demons have reign over me    
let the darkness be my only light    
   
*    
   
the fight I fought    
not alone I could hear and see Michael    
warrior soldier picked me up    
showed me three year old me    
safe in his pocket    
   
*    
   
so many days you kept me hidden    
from the human devils    
who I was easy pickings for    
   
*    
   
many tragedies could have befallen me    
when I was in my manic state    
the light and dark in me clashing    
   
*    
   
a battle is raged for my heart    
I forget to give you credit    
beautiful creator    
thank you for being there
