Teddy Bear

I wonder where my teddy bear ended up

The one

The first one that

Scared away the nightmares

Held my hand in the dark

Fought away my demons

And made me feel safe and secure

I wonder when I lost it, or,

Better yet when I decided I was old enough not to need it

Old enough to fight my own battles and scare my own nightmares away

Because now I am tired

Of this heart aching chest

Of these bruises and scars

Of these terrible nightmares

Of fighting my own battles

I really need my teddy bear now

To love me though my sadness

To hug my thoughts my darkest nights

To cheer me though my battles

And celebrate my victories

I wonder where my teddy bear ended up

The one

Who helped me in my beginnings

To save me from my early ending
