Window Savior

Whe you wake up in the morning feeling like you dont want to move
every cell in your body tells your heart to stop trying
when the water falls to carefully
From your two cupped hands
and you are tired of moving
you arent the running man
Its all okay to feel this way
Hell I do too
But somtimes you have to think
About those that love you
My next door neighbor was five
I hung myself from my bedroom ceiling
He screamed when I kicked the chair
His mother came running and thats why I was still alive.
Earned my my first hospital stay
lost my first job and starting pay
I hadnt meant to leave the window open
i hadnt expect a savior
But when he handed me his fake phone
and I answered anyway
He held his hand up to his ear and I heard him say
"Dont die because you can draw
When the monsters ate my homework
You helped me start again
I can help you pray each night"
He ended with amen.
I was just struck
When I thought no one gave a fuck
A five year old with a quick running mother
tlod me to live another day.
