The Voice That Saved Me: Finding Safety in Unexpected Places

My only coping mechanism 
Right now – is you.
The sound of your voice grounds me
No matter where I am. 


Stressed?
Anxious?
Triggered?
You are where I turn. 


The only place I have ever felt safe,
The only place I know I won’t be judged,
Is with you. 


They will call me crazy.
They will say I need to grow up.
But in reality
When I was forced to grow up
You were the one person
Who made me feel like a kid again.
