Angel in Blue
I peer out the window
To see the car out front
As my heart starts racing
And the breath escapes my lungs
Why take me to the hospital
Mental wounds don't need band-aids
But if they're standing at your doorstep
The decision has already been made
I can't go on like this
I'm broken at 25
Officer, if you truly want to help me
Please hold me while I cry
She's an angel in blue
Here to save my life
As she puts me in handcuffs
And drags me out alive
She says "You aren't in any trouble, Alex"
But her mere presence makes me stressed
How could I not react that way
When it feels like I'm under arrest
She tries to calm me down
And tells me "it gets better"
But the words she said next
Will stay with me forever
"Don't be scared, bud
I'm here to get you help
But I have to keep you safe
And protect you from yourself"
I'm unable to cope with
The hideous scars on my skin
As she puts me in the backseat
Crying as I'm buckled in
Police custody is degrading
It only makes life harder
I can't even put my own seatbelt on
I'm a twenty-five year old toddler
On the way she tried to tell me
That I'm kind-hearted and smart
But It's hard to see the light
From the back of a cop car
Death seemed like the solution
But my attempt has been remitted
For the second time in three months
I'm being cuffed and committed
I'm in the worst shape of my life
An emotional basket case
I pray to God He has a master plan
That one day falls into place
