See me
void deep and dark
A magnanimous black hole of creeping truth
Deep within
And breaking free
Like the detour of my transparency
at the highway end
where my heyday bent
I am lost
find me in a corner spent
hold my knees to my head
wait for my bruises to mend
only, only…
to bleed myself dry again

COMFORTED ME, DEFENDED ME, BELIEVED IN ME.
STOOD AS A SHIELD ON MY SIDE, STEADFAST AS A
MOUNTAIN,
STRONG AS A WAVE SWEEPING THE COAST
OF A BEACH
ERASING EVERY IMPURITY IN THE SAND,
LIKE HOW YOU CORRECT EVERY FAULT YOU
SEE IN ME.
YOU HELPED ME DISCOVER MY TRUE IDENTITY,
MY REAL BEING BEHIND THE CONFUSING CROWD.
BEFORE I SEE MYSELF AS WORTHLESS AS SAND,
AS WEIGHTLESS AS DUST SCATTERED
IN A WHIRLWIND.
I STUMBLED AND FELL BUT YOU HELPED ME
RECOVER.
I HAD FALLEN IN A PROFOUND AND OBSCURE PIT
BUT YOU EXTENDED YOUR HANDS FOR ME TO
REACH FORTH,
THUS GIVING AN END TO THE DARKNESS INTO DAWN.
