I had a conversation yesterday
I was breaking
My pain, I was not faking
I paced, I shook, I hurt, I was scared
My friend talked to me
My friend walked with me
My friend sat with me
And guided me
He said words that showed me who I really am
And not what I have come to understand
I wanted life to end
Before the conversation had even begun
But I have a friend
But I am lucky
I have a friend
Who told me I am strong
Who told me I have done no wrong
Who told me that life is a song
And I just need to give it a chance
And I just need to walk and run through it, like a beautiful, endless dance
He made me look in the mirror with his gentle words
And into my own eyes I looked, as deep as I could
I cried
I cried because I knew I was wrong
I cried because I knew I was hurt
I cried because I looked at my wrists, underneath my shirt
And it said “Love Life”
It said love the gift your parents gave
It said love the path your friends have made
It said love yourself, because you are loved by someone else
And because of him, less pain is felt
All I can say is thank you to my friend
On him I know I can depend
And because of him I remember that I love myself
And I don’t want life to end
I want to just breathe, as my tears are no longer there
I just want to let my path bend
Tell me friend, can you ask for anything more
That is truly what a good friend, an amazing one
Is for
