2 AM Thoughts

 If I were to gasp for my breath,

Who could I count on to help me breathe again?

If I were to run far away,

Who could I count on to shelter me?

If I were to fall gravely ill,

Who could I count on to nurse me back to health?

If I were to dig up a hole,

Who could I count on to push me back out into the world?

If I were to go too far out,

Who could I count on to pull me back on the ground?

If I feel a machete tight up against my trembling throat,

Who can I count on to solace my soul back onto the Earth?

Who can I really count on?
