                      To every girl who ever cried herself to sleep . . .

                                         A FRIEND

                              To every man who wished he can

                                         A FRIEND

                          To every love who didn't see your light

                                         A FRIEND

                          To everyone who needs to be held tight

                                         A FRIEND

                            To every life, blown out tonight

                                         A FRIEND
__________________________________________________________________________________________

                        I will hold you. I will cry. I help you hide.

                                        I UNDERSTAND

                               Why the bathtub is filled at night

                                          AND WHY

                            The medicine won't work quite right

                                          AND HOW

                                 You feel all alone at night

                                          DESPITE

                                     The pain you smile

                                      IT DOESN'T MEAN

                                        You're happy

                                       YOU DON'T KNOW

                             How to tell them just what hurts

                                     AND YOU'RE ASHAMED

                                    Of what really works

                                        THE RED LINES

                                     Cut deeper as they go

                                          I AM HERE

                                       To stop the flow
__________________________________________________________________________________________
                                     



                                     LET ME BE YOUR VOICE

                                 A SIMPLE GIRL, ALONE, AFRAID

                            WHO DOESN'T KNOW THE PRICE SHE'S PAID

                                       THE PEOPLE CLOSE

                                     THEY'RE HERE FOR YOU

                                      AND IF THEY'RE NOT

                                           I am too.
A poem I wrote to express my feelings.

I feel helpless. And scared. And I never Want any other poor being to feel this way.

If your reading this, holding back tears TALK TO ME. I understand pain. Even if you just want to vent.

I don't care who you are.

I don't care if I've ever met you before

I want to help
