Dear me but not really me,

You may come to read this letter

Heartbroken and in tears just like I was 

Asking yourself if it will ever get better

You have pain inside you deeper than any cut

 

You start making a mental list of people who care

You forget people like your brother and your mother

Because in your mind they're obligated to care

You don't talk to them because you aren't a bother

 

Yet at the end of the day, the person who saves you

Is not the person you would think

No knight in shining armor, just a person just like you

Another human who recognizes your struggle and in a blink

 

Decides to offer friendship to one in need

Death is no longer an answer, nor an escape

Rather death is seen as a let down to that friend

Who in a world of billions of people chose you to befriend

 

The days are no longer as hot, the nights not as cold

You have someone to give you a hug when you think you're all alone

Gone are the feelings of despair and sadness

Of being alone and being unhappy

 

In its place is a feeling of joy for some simple reason

The feeling of having someone there for you throughout all seasons

So when you ask yourself the question is it worth the choice

To end your life and rob a future friend of getting to know you

 

I ask you to reach out to friends and family and those around you

Because behind every smiling face, there is some form of sadness

You are not alone in this world and what you're thinking isn't the answer

Find someone who can be your friend or maybe even your dance partner

 

At the end of the day, all life if precious but yours especially so

My words and I will be here through your warm and your cold

I pray that one day you see, just like me

That at the end of our rope, there always will be

 

Someone like me.
