You came into my life when I was lost 

My Hurt echoed off of the walls 

Insecurities gunned me down

By the people that promised to keep me safe 

.

.

Slumber within a prison that did not have any bars

Drowned by the monsoon they locked inside with me

.

.

You came into my life when I was about to run away 

Everybody smiled in front of my face 

And hid the grenades 

.

.

Eyes glued to the ground

Fear excruciatingly heavy 

I had nothing left 

My cries held no sound 

.

.

You came into my life when I needed to feel loved 

You held my hand when I was falling 

Raised my chin up 

.

.

And set my eyes right on you 

You set my feet atop your shoes 

“Do not run, I will walk with you” 

.

.

You came into my life 

When I needed to be engulfed by the arms of someone’s hug 

You came into my life 

When I needed to feel loved 

.
