Dear whomever it may concern,


You’re trying hard

But it’s never enough

You feel so weak

But I know you’re tough


You just want to quit

Leave the world behind

But I know who you are

Very loved and oh so kind


I’ve seen it for myself

Your every strife

You’re always so tired

And live a damaged life


Those horrible nights

When your grandmothers died

I know how broken you were

And all the pain you felt inside


You’ve lost so much

Pets, family, and more

You hid your sufferings

Behind a locked door


I’m here to help you

To come into the light

I know you can do it

I faced the same fight


Siblings like yours

Who taunted each day

They always won fights

With the hate they would say


I had parents like yours

Never truly in love

Angry father, broken mother

Each thinking they’re above


I loved someone too

Who didn’t feel it back

I was broken and hurt

But found a new track


I know you can listen

Just not very well

But take a moment now

And hear what I tell


Stand up on your feet

Lift up your weary head

You’ll be glad to hear

There’s a better road to tread


The people you lost

Are no longer in pain

They’re much better now

Free from every chain


Your siblings will tease

It’s just what they do

They will get kinder

And then so will you


Your parents will find love

It’ll take them some time

Your father will be first

Then your mother down the line


Your broken heart

Will eventually heal

Not all the way

But enough for you to deal


You lost someone you knew

Not much, but still a friend

It’ll break you for some time

But you’ll be okay in the end


Now my final remarks

Before I must go 

Are very important

And what you should know


You are so strong

So beautiful and kind

Open your eyes

Open your mind


If you want proof

That all I’ve said is true

Then here it is:

Sincerely, You
