A Letter To A Friend

It's not easy being young
Say it again, again and again
The words they ring through my head
And I know because this is me
You say that you can no longer feel
That your heart is like a locked door
Because the pain that you have is real
And you don't want to suffer anymore
Wronged by the words and deeds of a fool
Who is not worthy of your love and affection
Mystified by an image of supposed happiness
You hurl your heart in his direction
The fool is blind and cannot see your beauty
He thinks only of himself and his pleasure
You tell yourself "There is something wrong with me."
You feel rejected and worthless
But the mistake is his showing his true self
Your future disappointment is spared
I know because I have felt this
You wonder if anyone cares
Do not lock up your feelings
For this is who you are
This is where your true beauty comes from
And I can see it from near or far
I know it hurts and makes you cry
I know sometimes you feel alone and unloved
Your parents are not there for you
You are ashamed to tell your friends
But the beauty from inside your soul
Shall triumph in the end
I sometimes hurt inside too
But I believe that what I say is true
So I pray with all my might
That you never stop feeling
That you never stop loving
And someday you shall see
That all the beauty and love in the world
Is your's to give for those worthy to receive
