&quot;Live life not in fear but in anticipation of the challenges ahead.&quot;<br /> --Me


Save me from myself,
This lonesome, insecure beast
Who locks herself away inside
And hides from the burning light of day.

Save me from myself,
I'm drowning in these tears
My insecurities eat away at me
Like an unforgiving acid.

Save me from myself,
I'm in way over my head, battered
By the blackened whip of false hope,
Watching as all that I know and love
Slips through my fingers.

Save me from myself,
I'm falling from a bleak gray sky
With no net to catch me, protect me
From the harsh reality that's waiting
And the pain that's unavoidable.

Save me from myself,
I'm losing sight of what's important
My dreams seem like distant memories now,
You're face plagues me when I close my eyes,
Pushing me to tears.

Without you in my life, how am I to live?
How am I to keep on going?
How am I to survive a day without your smile?
How am I to face the world knowing that you're not there
To push me down this road.

I'm leaving you behind...or are you leaving me?
The future is bleak without you there,
The fire's burning cold.
You can't leave me here alone
I need you to save me.

Save me from myself.

This piece was written a week before I graduated High School. My best friend(and ex-boyfriend) was my inspiration. After seeing him every day for four years, and after having him there fore me for all that time, how was I to survive without him>
