(This is for a friend who today told me something that hurt me. I hope that my friend will get better and stop feeling the way she feels, because she doesn't deserve to feel that way. She is way too happy, funny, truthful, brave, and everything else to have to go through this. This is for her!)
You tell me all the things you’re afraid to say
I wish I could take them all way
Like the pain you hide
Deep inside.
You tell me how close you’ve come
To ending some-
thing so precious
Like staying conscious.
You tell me about your day
And how you want to stay
But that it might be hard
Because you are so scarred.
I must tell you something, before you leave
And that is that you must believe
In the people who care,
Even if they are rare,
Since they will wipe away all your tears.
