To my family…

I’ll take your poison

I’ll take your pain

I’ll suck it right on out of your veins

You won’t bleed

You’ll feel nothing.

I’ll take it all. I’ll wear your shame.

Wear it like a coat

hold my shoulders tight

I’ll make it fit. I’ll make it all right. 

Don’t you worry now

get some sleep tonight

I’ll keep watch until the morning light.

The dreams won’t get you

I’ll fight the worries away

I’ll keep my eyes open keeping your demons at bay. 

And when the morning comes

you can thank me then. 

This is the best I can do, and I will until the end.
