Life Needs A Crutch

It envelopes me in safeness,
Leaving without traces
Of pain, hurt, or dread,
So I like to think instead
That they never once were there
'Cause it's just too much to bear.
I just think of now
Instead of thinking how
I'll ever go on
When it is all gone.
For once it disappears,
I'll surely be in tears
'Cause life is just too much
To live without a crutch.
So I'll keep it in my grasp
For as long as I can
And if I ever let it go,
It means a battle all alone
To fight these ugly scars
Located on my heart.
Of course I will pull through
Eventually, if not soon.
And with my heart newly healed,
I'll have the strength to feel
Something better to endure
And I'll know then--
I'm cured!
