Dear Friend,
Dear Friend,
Stop listening to them if it hurts
Stop being with them if it doesn't make you feel better
Stop laughing at their jokes
Reading in between their lines
Stop telling yourself that they mean something to you
Dear Friend,
Stop letting them be in your life
Because you only get one
And you shouldn't have to waste it
Making someone else's better
Yet making your own worse
Dear Friend,
Make yourself happy
But not at the cost of you or others
Because at the end of the day
If what they said hurt you
And what they did was mean
And how you feel is awful
And you can't go to sleep
Because their actions keep swirling in your head
And their thoughts make yours go sour
They're not worth it
Dear Friend,
Don't let them be an important part of your life
If you don't want them to be
Because I've seen you when you're happy
And when you are with them
You smile like it's forced
You laugh like you're trying not to cry
And you never lead
You only follow
Dear Friend,
You do not have to come back to me
But please, find some people
That make you happy
Because it pains me to know
that you are sitting there
Unhappy
Unloved
Unwanted
And you're starting to believe that that is who you are
Dear Friend,
You are your own person
Stop pretending to be someone you're not
For life is too short
Happiness too fleeting
Time is flying and you spend it
Watching others mock you
Watching others live a life that you aren't having
Dear Friend,
We are not perfect
And we never will be
So stop trying to strive for a perfection
That you have created in your mind
A reality that you see others in that casts them above you
A reality in which no one wants you
A reality in which your talents mean nothing
Take off those tinted glasses and see the worlds true light
Because it is bright and beautiful and it has been waiting for you
Dear Friend,
Be Happy
Because you my friend
Deserve it
