Listen to Me

To an Old Friend.

I just gotta say I like this poem... it just gives off a message that everyone should know. This actually always makes me start to tear up, when I read it.

This poem shows that when you are 6 and you young and free you are happy and don't care what you look like. But as you get older society crushes the happy and free and you care so much how you look.

You are beautiful person. Don't worry about your looks. Just laugh, smile, and enjoy your self any chance you get.

I just gotta say when you are a teenager it's hard. No matter how hard it is,  it's gonna get better. Cutting is not the answer. Self harming is not the answer. It's not. It isn't.

I was going through a rough time awhile ago and an old friend once told me, they would've done anything to prove to me how much I meant to him. My self I thought everything positive he was saying was a lie. I said it doesn't matter. He said bs and went on a rant, like... so when I say that I love you, that your voice is perfect the way it is, how much I wish you were here right now, you think I don't mean it?

He said those things and it meant the world to me. He really meant it. He also once said my smile and goofiness was enough for him to live and not worry about other things. He said so many great things to me. I hope to never forget.

To an old friend who saved my life.
And to my other best friends and friends who have been there who didn't even know it.

Thank you
