Dear Friend,

I know tonight you can’t keep it together I can hear you reciting reasons to carry on

When people say hello You shrink away Scared of messing up You look for an escape

When people smile at you Do you have to ask yourself if they’re only being polite that they think you’re annoying?

I love that you remember all of your mistakes and can’t stand to see them

I know I can tell you over and over again that you are enough for me

I used to believe that I was ephemeral so full of doubt I was certain I was invisible

I’m drifting all alone Trying desperately to atone for all the horrible things I’ve done Wishing for life to be fun But I’ve made too many mistakes So I put on smiles, all fakes Because forgiveness can’t be found After everything I’ve done, sleep isn’t sound But if I look through all the darkness I know somewhere, I will find forgiveness Cos even though I am not perfect I know in my heart that I am worth it

When life is crashing down and the world’s a whirlwind sometimes, all you need to carry on is a friend by your side

What a beautiful day it is When friends are all so near Life is full of wonder And I’m full of cheer

Life is full of struggles hardships, trials, and problems We all have them I have them, you have them
