Short stories by me

If you were gone..

I have written this before, just on a different platform. So I am here posting it again on a different one cause this one letter means so much to me. Also, Art is not mine, I repeat not mine. Credit to the original artist. This is a beautiful piece of work.

Do you know the feeling when you absolutely care for your friends that you'll do anything to help them? -good now imagine if you lost them. You probably be sad, depressed even. The knowledge in your brain that kept telling you that you could've saved them, Could've helped, Could've been better. But now the moment has past and your friend is no longer here. That person wouldn't know the worth they had, wouldn't know the amazing family they could've had, the best moments they had. All because they are gone. And that friend who tried, tried so hard to keep them stable, keep them going. They would be devastated, they lost a friend whom they cared about so much. they cry every night thinking to themself "what did I do wrong?" " Why did they leave? Was it me? " But that friend wouldn't know, since they aren't there. They don't know how many people cared about them and how many people they have put into devastation, tears, depression.

 Cause this one friend, was their everything. They cared, they loved, they protect this friend. They did so much for this friend. But it wasn't good enough, they weren't good enough. This friend had a terrible life at home, even though they would put on a smile. They were being compared to others, even if their friends told her she was different. They were bullied and harmed, but they would cover it up. No one knows what others have been through. But this friend is one of the values of people's lives. But that friend is gone. There is nothing you could do about it. Everyone just wished they could give at least one goodbye, at least one last hug before they committed. But...they're gone. I

There was something inside everyone that even though the voices told them to give up, kill themselves, cut! They kept trying, and trying, and trying. And despite everyone that told them to quit, they didn't. They succeeded. They had a great life, a happy one. But this friend didn't she had given up. She hadn't continued, she tried and decided that no one cared, they're a waste of space that no one would even notice they were gone. But they were gone, she didn't make it through the storm and didn't see the sunrise. She couldn't... But others could, with her on their kinda they pushed even harder, harder than ever to get back on track. To complete their goals, their lives. All for her. But that doesn't mean they still hurt, that doesn't mean that maybe once-twice a year they just break down and cry. All because their friend couldn't make it, all the cuts she made, all the tears she shed. She could go on, but she gave up. Their friends were broken.

If only she'd continued to try to get help, listened to the words they said every single day. If she'd been there, she would've been happy. Cause with every storm there comes peace. But your friend is still here, and you should cherish that. Cause they could be lost at any moment in time. ​​​​​​But with me, I have been here before. Not the exact moment but when I get close to someone they leave. They either hate me or they just leave. But that won't stop me from trying. So if you read this, please don't give up, You are worth much. If you're bullied, the people bringing you down is because you are higher than they are. You are better. If you are abused in any way. Try talking to someone, they will try and help. I know I will. If you are outcasts and rejected, know that you are so cool and that you are better than anyone else who comes by. And one day someone will accept you for who you are.

Now, the original is on Quotev and It had a lot of spelling and errors in it so I had to fix that. Just a little bit, uhm but this is so special because I wrote this for a friend who was dealing with terrible things then and even now. I wrote this around August 7, 2019, maybe even sooner. And I love this letter is one of my favorites simply because I love this friend so much and I wrote this around 12 at night. I cried during writing this, I wrote it from the bottom of my heart. I just wanted to share it to whoever finds this and reads it.
