The demons that surround have no power at all,
Just hold on for dear life if you slip I'll take the fall,
You've taught me how to walk before now I crawled,
Until you gave me sound advice now that problem is solved

I can't allow you to stay in a room full of this gloom,
I have to break down a wall so light can come consume,
The darkness that surrounds this will not be your tomb,
You're too great for all the danger in this tower of doom,

Take a look out that window to see the lives that you've touched,
Do you understand the power you possess within your clutch?,
You might think that you are limited that you haven't done enough,
But I can honestly say to you that you're respected oh so much!,

Without your guidance or your knowledge,
Your wisdom or your polish,
My words would be lackluster,
When I have the potential to be solid

You took me under your wing and gave me advice on how to grow,
Exposed me to different people with a smile you don't even know,
How the small things you did helped me put on a magical show,
With words I often hid I was in doubt but now I can glow,

This is just me giving you thanks for the mentor you've been to me,
I can't imagine you down because if you are I'll hold the key,
To unlock a smile, a threat, or both at least,
I know the woman that helped me grow can say that she's proud of me.

Dedicated to The_Outkast.

You've been my inspiration and mentor since day one.
You stumbled upon a book that I was scared to even post and guided me on how to become better. The unlimited votes always kind words and your motivation to constantly put new stuff out fueled my drive to be better. So this is a small token of how much that meant to me and always will.
Oh and by the way this is also a piece of a response to Shadow Of Doom.
