Only you
can prevent yourself,
only you can prevent
jumping the gun and the acted verb,
and,
only you can describe what is it is to roll the
words "do" or "die" from off the tip
of your tongue and the edges of your teeth,
but,
only I can get people from there,
and yes, only I will cry if I keep it to myself.
Because if no one knows, I'll be fine right?
Only I am the lone spark to hold everyone's sanity together,
Only I know what it means to roll the words "protect" and "serve"
from my mind, to my vocals, off my tongue, and into the world,
as I am unfamiliar and humbled to failure and rejection,
but again as it is, only you, can allow me to stand and help me help you,
as I am by everyone's side, alone in the dark,
only you can reassure me that everything is OK.
So drop everything to give me a reminder on your inner workings,
only you can prevent bringing me upon you,
so comply with my rules,
only you can prevent the cutting,
it will hurt more than it does now,
it's not what it seems,
and again only I will be more hurt than before if anyone of you
is harmed,
only I can turn my fate around, unless
someone other than 3 start to care enough to help me
flip it on its head,
only I can decide which life I lead, be it this or a parallel and its final light.
Only you & I,
Me & Them, will ever want to keep track of such things,
only you can help me keep you safe,
only they can abide by and stand by me,
and only I can prevent myself from irrational thinking such as this,
I'm only here in this world to love and to care for those I know.,
Thank you for letting me plant my sanity within all of you,
because only you have lead me to continue thinking rationally
for me and for myself this is my debt,
my life belongs in the hearts and hands of all of you.
Only
you
have
the
privilege
of the presence
that is me in your life.
I am ever in you favor.
