Someone to Watch Over Me - from Sanktuary, Telford

11/26/2012

 
Last weekend a group of visitors came along to Sanktuary in Telford to see what we do.  One of the visitors, Andrée, wrote this poem about her Saturday night with us.

Someone to Watch Over Me

ow my ears they hurt
'coz the beat's too loud
know i've drunk too much
inside I'm not too proud
lungs can 'ardly breathe
feel like a tub o' lard
no one sees i'm scared
i'm really not that hard
head's spinnin' round 'n round
my heart it's thumpin' fast
whatevah's goin' down
i'm hopin' it won't last
everythin's a blur
don't really wanna stay
to be wiv what occurs
just need to run away
want me mum to hold
so my world won't crash
want me dad to scold
when i am smokin' hash
my god it's freezin' out
how will I make it home
who will take my hand
see that I'm all alone

then I saw your face
glowin' angel bright
offerin' tea and warmth 
in the dead of night
you held my eyes 
touched my feet with love
wrapped me from the cold 
so i wdnt feel so rough
then I looked again
'n saw my mother's smile
saw my father's pride
not his backhanded bile
I never thought 
that I would ever see
someone care enough
to watch over me.
