Soft Place
I am
your soft place
to land
when the world's edges
grow sharp
in your mind,
try to
slice you
up
I am
your soft place
to land
when the world
spins madly
then lurches,
tries to
buck you
off
I am
your soft place
to land
when the demons
lunge out
of the shadows
of your thoughts,
try to
throw you
down
