For A True Super Hero

Written on 14th July 2007

How can someone you've never met
Actually save your life?
He's stopped me from doing something foolish
He's made me re-think my life

I've told him all about my past
All the things I've had to endure
He has never passed any judgment
He is more supportive than anyone before

There was a night a while ago
That I let my emotions take over me
I cut my wrist three times
I didn't realize I did it until I could see

See the blood on my wrist and on the blade
I felt instantly numb
I sent a text the next day
To explain what I had done

I was afraid of how he would react
I was frightened of what he would say
But all he offered was love and support
No judgment in any way

That night I sent him a message
Saying that I wanted it all to end
He told me he wanted me to call him
But I couldn't bring myself to burden my friend

I shut him out
And I cried all night
I didn't sleep at all
I felt like I couldn't continue to fight

He doesn't know this yet
But I wanted to kill myself right then
I took out a razor and held it to my wrist
But then I started to think of my friend

I thought of the support that he gave me
And that he really seemed to care
That is why I thank him dearly
For being the one who was there

There for me when I truly needed him
And although I may sometimes push him away
He will remain in my heart
Until my very last live day
