I was thereA Poem by LanaI never thought I'd see the light of day But here I am, it's just another day The wound in my mind is fading away I thought all I'd see was Doomsday I never thought there was another side I was fooled by the devil and cried If I had to do it all over again I'd be mortified If anyone had to do it once, they'd commit homicide They'd fight for a solution to quiet down the devil Ask God to do it for them, even if they know it won't be successful It's comforting to talk to a heaven It's a lonely dark road into depression Help; so hard to ask for, yet so easy to do We'd rather ask help to the invisible heaven than deal with the truth Which is; help is in you You are the only person you can talk to Me; I was in the other side the whole time I failed to look at the climb Eventually; I saw the reflection of my other self It was ripped away against my will It told me; I was there I was there when the devil swallowed you Sometimes it caused me to tremble Then one day you disappeared out of thin air I tried to reach out to you But it used water torture on you And your instinctive fear of drowning kicked in You felt like you couldn't win I was there when your hands were tied And it stabbed your inside I was there when you were afraid to die But nothing made more sense than saying your goodbyes I was happy when you reached out to me You wrote me poetry I tried to find the keys to get you out of here But you didn't get the idea I was down on my knees There was never a time that I thought you could never make it It's been a long time coming And your strength is hugging me There's never a day that I don't fight for clarity I am your therapy I was there for your maturity I hope you know what I mean I finally found the keys Please come home to me It's warmer here There is wisdom and strength here No more insecurity, no more fear Just you and me, like it should always be I can see you back on your feet I opened the door wide open for you You'll be received like an athlete I promise you'll be respected, just as a soldier coming back from war
