For anyone who has walked vacant streets;
cold and alone;
for anyone who has battled addiction,
or come from a broken home...
For anyone who has lost loved ones,
or, perhaps a part of themselves;
for anyone who has faked a smile,
and kept their problems hidden on a shelf...
For anyone who has made mistakes,
and hated thier own guts;
for anyone who has been beyond lost;
with no one left to trust...
For anyone who has shut thier eyes
and prayed to never wake up;
for anyone who has often heard the words;
"You might as well give up"...
For anyone who has been knocked down
in every possible way;
for anyone who has stopped living,or stopped loving
and watched thier dreams slip away...
For anyone who has been too afraid
to let thier hurt show through;
for anyone who has been misunderstood;
and looked down on too...
For anyone who has felt hopeless,
beyond scared, or depressed;
for anyone has been haunted by bad memories,
they could not put to rest.
For anyone who has been stuck
on a path of self-destruction;
for anyone who has felt undeserving
of friendship, or affection...
For anyone who has crashed and burned;
maybe lived a little too fast;
for anyone who could not move ahead;
free of thier broken past...
For anyone who has seen even a fraction of the above;
my heart is with you, you're not alone...
this one is for you.
I know what it's like;
because I have been there too.
Thank you to all of you poets who have helped to pick me up
-and encouraged me to continue in my writing.I send my love out to
each and every one of you.
