Alot

We’ve been through a lot,

Haven’t we?

It’s been pretty hard,

Don’t you agree?

 

One friend for many years,

Belitting, Dismissive,

And an all-around negative personality.

You allowed it,

Every day, for years.

You developed a lot of issues from it,

You stayed boxed in,

Stayed away from others,

And then high school happened.

 

We had to have it stop,

Didn’t we?

Why did I hide my beautiful self?

Why did I feel the need to shy away,

From things that made me happy?

 

You got better friends.

A better outlook.

A better sense of self,

Didn’t you?

 

Bright-eyed,

And ready.

Taking the day as it comes.

You got rid of the one friend

Because you needed to look out for

Yourself.

Since,

You’re so precious,

So pure,

And someone that deserves the world.

 

No more feeling to kill yourself.

No more destructive coping.

No more….

 

You’re okay.

I promise because I’m you.

And I know our story started dark,

But now it has some light.
