Savior from Danger

Close ur eyes use an eyelash as a shovel to dig up all those empty promises & build a home for your enemy
Use the tip of your tongue to lick away the smoke
And discover the stars and dig your way back to heaven
Use your big toe to write HELP in the sand and the rest of your knuckles to construct a sailboat
Use your left elbow to open a sliding glass door while your right hand bestows the doorknob to a lost opportunity
Curl your ears into funnels that sift every once of unwanted gossip like a teenager with an unwanted baby
Stretch your fingers into open gates and use your nails as unkempt keys to unlock every bow from cupid's side
Roll out your veins in order to bleed out every time your blood boiled , every time your wrote something on a bucket list
Pluck out one eyeball just so u  can squeeze It into a bottle so you can see what's it like in a 3rd world country , and a 4th , a 5th and a 6th
Breath deep enough so your rib cage can french kiss your jaw
Walk further and further until a tsunami and a tornado make love in front of you
Keep going, keep breathing until the blood you sweat becomes motivations , until curled knuckles becomes inspiration becomes red and blue until this is you
You are much more than a face on a penny , more than a copied page on a history book ,
For  a 15 year old girl I would change the mirror she sees herself in
shatter the pieces , dull the blades she confides in
For the 16 year old boy I would restore the confidence his step father stole
For the 19 girl I would give up the joint the cigar the bowl
Tell these kids there's more inside them Than words could ever take apart
There's more inside their heads , stop falling for Their hearts
I would change their views , their hearts , their indecisive minds
Because one day if I could change their lives , maybe some one could save mine
