My Defenders

I have seen waves of self resentment recede at the force of love from those who have chosen to defend me from myself

I have watched meteor showers of lies be caught in the hands of those around me and hurled back into the night to decorate the sky with what once was my reality

And I haven’t even seen it all

I haven’t even come close to the extent of love that I’ve found

Because I’m not done struggling and meeting enemies in unpredictable places

But where unpredicted trouble stirs

So will the hearts of my warriors

Where lies scream

So will they roar

And where I fall

There they are waiting
