Her Savior

***Started it a while ago, worked on it today, i will edit it later! ***

The crowd is silent as she steps out to the microphone
The light beams upon her and shines off of her face
Legs are trembling, anxiety is kicking in
"I can't do this!!!"
she screams as she runs off stage
a young man comes to wards her, takes her by the hand
pulls her out of the corner and into the light
he puts his hand under her chin, raises her head up
looks into her eyes and sees the same look of fear that she had on the stage
"don't worry my dear, I will not hurt you"
he whispers to her
she comes a little closer
looks into the face of the man standing over her
he lets out a short breathed laugh and wipes the tears away from her porcelain cheeks
she smiles a bit and slowly his arms wrap around her quivering body
he hugs her and she feels his warmth on her skin
he grabs her by the hand and leads her to the stage
"get up there and show them what you can do"
she goes and she says what is on her mind
lets the world know everything about her and who she is
he sits in the crowd, smiling up at the girl
he has helped her to let out her past
get the memories out of the back of her mind
no longer building up and gnawing at her insides.
She takes the razor blade and throws it in the garbage,
Drains the whiskey down the sink,
And puts the pills back into the cupboard.
You have helped her to overcome her greatest addictions
Ones that she would never been able to overcome herself
And for that she thanks you,
You are her savior.
