You Help Me Through

This isn't necessarily supposed to be a romantic poem, it is directed toward anyone who has been of help. I wrote this for a teacher I had who cared for me and made me feel like life was worth it. :)

Your smile never fails to make me see,

How much my life really means.

One of the many things you have done,

Is made me see that I am worth more than none.

Your smile, hug, and endless cheer,

Always shines light on all of my fear.

The truth is I'm terrified to be inside my own mind,

But you make living seem possible when I feel left behind.

You've done all this and so much more,

But I always find my way back under the floor.

Yet you're still by me when I feel the need to cry,

So how do I tell you I want to die?

 

I find my ways to stick it through,

Because I know life is worth the pain when I talk to you.

Every day I thank God for giving you to me,

It's hard to believe this isn't just a dream.

I feel that one day I'll wake up,

And find that I have no one to pull me out of this rut.

Until then I have you,

And for that reason I will fight to make it through.

This was heavy!! It's one thing to read the most dramatic words to spin horror and mystery into a poem, but when it comes from a solid source and it feels/sounds like the heart itself is speaking...... it's Oh so very perspicacious of just how one might word the rawest form of truth. A beautiful poem..... both beautifully tender and genuinely heart-breaking!! This side of worry and mood, when it comes to loved ones, is usually blocked out for as this poem shows.... is a lot to take in and share some of that pain so the other doesn't have to go it alone...... -Mark
