Where was my guardian angel
when i was crying
on the floor
begging to be normal?
Where was my guardian angel
when I was lying in bed
debating if I
should take my life?
Where was my guardian angel
when i held a blade to my wrist
and cut until i ran
out of room?
Where was my guardian angel
when i was everyone else’s
and i needed
my own?
Where was my guardian angel
when i woke up screaming
my memories becoming dreams
feeling his hands all over me?
Where was my guardian angel
when i needed
to be protected
from myself?
Where was my guardian angel
when I was breaking
into a million pieces
alone?
