Dear Friend*

I have something to tell you.

I'm sorry for all your hurt and the horrible stupid pain.

You must understand that you are here for a reason and the reason is so you can be strong.

Please don’t let go I know that you’re in pain but there is so much inside of you that know one but me knows.

And hopefully one day you will open up and let it show.

This is not your time though one day it will come, there will be no more tears and you will be happy above the clouds for millions of years.

We share a simple bond that no one can break.

We both cry until our tears run dry what a weakness that isn't fake.

I held a knife close to my thick veins, because I thought it would take away the pain.

So you tried and did the same.

But there’s so much more to life then being sad I realized that and slipped away from the hurt, so now I must show you because its your turn.

Live life to the fullest and know that bad things that happen are not always your fault.

This you don’t have to hide when you feel this way pick up the phone and to me you can confide.

I will not yell scream or get mad like everyone else.

I will stay by your side and try to explain that you have to open your eyes that’s the right way to be is not sad.

But I will understand and be there to hold your hand through the little good and through all the bad.

I feel exactly the same way! I love helping my friends too. Isn't it great to have the virtues of understanding and caring about others? We are so similar! And yeah, life is so horrible, but strength is always there. :)

A nice sincere poem.
