Dear readers…..

TW




We may be strangers

But I would consider some of you my friends

So I will hold your hands

And huide you through my words


You know who you are

Everyone here I talk to

And everyone I don’t

Please take a minute

Just a minute to listen to what I have to say


I love you

And I know others do to

Your soul is the essense of poetry

And you are every word you have ever uttered


I would write a million poems

If if kept you all safe

I may be a stranger on the internet

But I can say a care


There Are things I can’t do

I know that is true

I can’t make you eat

Put down a blade

Or pause for water

But I can hold you

In my metaphorical arms

Until the storm is over


This may run long

And for that I am sorry

But I care I really do

And I need you not to worry


For those that are having issues with food:

Please know its ok

You are not alone

I know it is hard

I know it is tough

No matter your stuggles

Wether its too much or not enough

Someone will always be there for you

And I will be too


For those who struggle with SH:

Hey hey, listen to me

I can’t make you stop

But maybe I can make you smile

Blood is not the answer

Pain is not the answer

You deserve more than this

More than being covered in cuts and bandages

Who ever made you do this

I hope they know what they did

Because you are perfect in my head

And I will always listen


To those who feel lonely:

You won’t be alone forever

If you need someone to talk to I am here

I was there once

More than once really

It sucks I know it

But it gets better

You will find your person

Your people or group

And it will all be ok

But sometimes that means

You have to wait awhile


To those who are having relationship issues:

I can’t fix it I really can’t

But I can say

If they hurt you then leave

If they are hurting give them I tight squeeze

Dont scream because it doesn’t fix anything

But arguments are healthy

as long as there are boundaries

And if its already over

There was bound to be a reason

Maybe I can helo you figure out why

And maybe that will lift some of the burden


To those with family issues:

Parents shouldn’t hurt you

should not yell all day

And god i hope you got to be a kid

and i wish they understood

But listen i am here

If you want to tell me an achievement

because they will not listen

If you need to cry

Or to smile

I will pay attention


To those with health issues:

From one to another

In the same boat

I won’t say it gets better

Because for you I don’t know if it will

But there will be good days

Where you can run jump and play

Work and cook and clean

And be who you want to be

But On the days that are not so great

Its ok I’m here and you can tell me anything

That might make it just a bit better


To those struggling with addiction:

I can’t make it better

It won’t fix overnight

You will need external help

But i can be who you rant or vent to

Or try to give advice

But I can tell you to stay strong

Because you will make it out on the other side


I know there are so many more struggles I didn’t cover

But I hope I made it clear

I am here whenever I am needed

And I will ill give you a metaphorical hug

If only you will let me
