Love has found me
In the darkest places
The smallest spaces
Spoke from
The meanest faces
But joy wasn’t my toy
Until I gave it credit
Yes ..I said it
Now I play
With its abundance
Chose it
Because I was tired
Of wondering
When these walls
Are going to squeeze
Waiting for death
Looking at the Grim Reaper’s
Grin …
While sitting in my traitors
Den..
Where lions , tigers and bears
Await to eat my flesh
When I would totally give in
My self-medicating sin
Taking flights to
Find my high
I never left this ground
So deep in my depression
Couldn’t hear any sound
The bay was hard
To cross
Without a vessel to float on
But my creator paid
My cost
Took my keys back
For the ignition of my life
I sit closely with him
Holding onto his throne
So deeply his love
For me became
So strong
This way
Even between my rock
And hard places
I’m never alone
