When the Fog Is Thin

Today is a day when the fog has cleared
My death wishes, desires all but fears
I beg for the winds of hope to stay here with me
As hope is fragile it’s when I don’t want to flee

Even as I write this the fog seeps back in
My demon arising attacking from within
Yet I know I must struggle and put up a fight
As people have been helping me add power to my light

The people who help me they listen and want me to live
As much as its hard for me to comprehend this
I want to say thanks for sticking by me
Even through a simple thank you it will never do

Just know that I owe you far more than you know
For the thoughts of death, they easily sow
But you’re the flood that washes them away mid grow

You need anything i’m there, I love you so much
You make me want to stay with your loving soft touch
You’ve stood by me through the depressed dark nights
My guardian angel always helping me win these fights

Thank you
