I Am Never Alone

I am depressed she said Her face leaked Chin quivering I am lonely, I have no one I cannot relate to her I am never lonely Never alone Even in my dreams My spirit guides raise me up Shake me up Roll me around Tromp on me Stomp on me Quake me up I feel their presence in times of mirth And times of trouble, and toothpaste moments I want to uplift her She is determined to be down and depressed She says she is forsaken I cannot fathom this Having no time to myself Always followed by angels and spirit guides I ask some to latch onto her “She is too dour,” one says. “I prefer you,” two others say.
