The memories dance around in my head
The happy times which have passed
Serve as my one distraction
Serve as my liberator
From the searing fire
Contained in my skull
It tempers the crashing waves
Bursting from my chest
Yet, This is all digression
I thank the happy ones
I thank the liberators
For without them
I would be burned alive
I would be drowned
They keep me afloat
They stifle the flames
So, I cannot help but say
*Thank You
