Just don't let go

Pull me sweetly away. Call my family and tell them I’m ok. Tie my wrist to a balloon and let me float somewhere nice. Let me sleep in Sunday. Just let me disappear for once. Let me inhale something new into my lungs. Teach me what fresh air smells like. Change the music to something smooth. And this time let me drink something that doesn’t burn all the way down. Let me ring the bell on the counter simply to make the children smile. Today let’s crush shadows instead of white capsules. We’ll look anywhere but down and slip away. Slip away into something new. Something better.

I can’t do it alone. These roads are best traveled holding hands. So grab hold of mine, I promise not to let go.
