"Have you ever been hurt and the place tries to heal a bit, and you just pull the scar off of it over and over again." - Rosa Parks


my life was empty and bare,
before i met you.
The only one who could pull me through,
Without you I would be lost.

My life could've been done for,
If you wouldn't have taken my hand,
I could be ashes flying across the land,
You saved me from myself.

I was ready to finish it off,
But you held me back,
Direction was what my life once lacked,
Without you I'd be lost.

You showed me there was nothing to fear,
When I was standing all alone in the night,
You wouldn't let the pain win my fight,
You saved me from myself.

I wrote this in about ten minutes to answer a question on yahoo answers. Funny, I know but if it gets chosen as best I'm going to feel pretty good about getting this published, which hopefully it is.
