Something A Friend Would Say Poem by Yaritza Florencio

somebody today told me you didnt feel okay
That you locked yourself in your room and cried
I wanted to tell you this

Take a walk with me today
Listen to what i have to say
I need you to scream
To shout out your dream
I need you to cry
to lean on my shoulder while i say its alright
I need you to hold your old teddy bear
To forgive m efor the time i wasnt there
I need you to walk in the street today
I want you to look back on this day and say
Today i was myself, today i hid nothing at all
Today there isnt anything that could make me fall
I need to know your happy, really, not just hiding the pain
just having fun straight and plain
i dont want you to lock yourself in your room and turn the radio up so loud
That no one hears you scream aloud
I dont want you to be hurt
to always be alert
to forget your friends that are true
Because you think they dont understand you
Because i know what its like to be hurt
to feel your spirit crack
to feel abandoned
To be stabbed in the back
I know what its like to feel lost
To be close to breaking down
To be close to the edge
And have no one around
I know what its like, i know how it hurts
I know because its happened to the person that you see
But i want you to know, That this time you have me
