I wrote this, from the dream I had about my spirit animal, the bear
#5
Thank you for sharing your work! The title of your post really drew me in. I agree with the previous comments and am excited to see a second draft that breaks away from the current rhyming scheme. I think that clarifying the subjects will go a long way in making this poem relatable. I would decide whether "you" is the writer or the bear and stick to that throughout. 
I think you have a really interesting first line, with the dissonance of "on" and "off" and the syncopation of the rhythm. In comparison, the subsequent lines sound a little formulaic in their rhythm. In particular, the line "I walk with you, protect you, I'm everywhere," sounded a little choppy to me. 
I hope that is helpful. Thank you again for sharing!
