gratitude

you told me i was beautiful

when everything going around was ugly

you told me i was indestructible

when all the world's falling apart

you made me laugh to the point of being breathless

when all that was happening forced me not to

you took away all my worries

when my troubles were just reaching boiling point

you gave me your other hand

when mine was paralyzed from all the pain i've inflicted

you breathe life into my lifeline

when i was just about to lose mine...
