I refuse to let you be alone in this.

I want you to know that I see you.
I see you for who you are and what you have been through.

I also know that you are a beautiful and brilliant person.
So loving, kind and charismatic.
You want to know one of the best things I see in you?
A true friendship is not a one-way street and now I am going to do the same for you.
Leaving you with forgotten memories of who you were and leaving those jagged thoughts not fitting right?
Because, at least when its only me, the judgmental world is limited to only one.

So, you feel the need to fight like hell just to survive.
You see nothing but a shriveled-up stranger staring back at you in the mirror.
You find it hard to recognize yourself in the mirror.
The only thing you see is the flashbacks of how you got your scars.
You are haunted by those memories that broke you.
Youre re-living that nightmare every time you close your eyes.
You dont know how to initiate the other way.
How can you when your mirror image reflects every failed attempt of survival?
Those missing pieces are so visible you’re free to see right through them.
You are so lost and confused about where you are and how you even made it this far.
You keep asking the same question over and over, How do you become happy with yourself?
You want to be that same person you were before the storm hit.
Before you were swept off your feet and shattered into a million tiny pieces.
Maybe the answer is simple, or at least it should be.
Or maybe the answer is so far-fetched that it seems impossible for you to grasp.
The fact that nobody really knows the true answer is what makes everything seem impossible.
Every person is unique which causes us to handle a situation very differently.
Youhaveto keep trying.
Dont ever give up.
Dont ever give in.
Never let your darkest thoughts control your actions.
One that is better and stronger.
One that makes the old you seem like it as all just a figment of your imagination.
The road ahead will be difficult.
You will be faced with many challenges.
How you face them will depend on the person you want to be after everything is said and done.
The new you has something that the old one didnt.
A friend who is traveling down that same broken road.
Taking what you went through and using it as a blueprint for your new and improved strength.
Proving that this person has always been inside of you.
Right now, that doesnt even begin to feel like a possible reality for you to chase.
I have been on this run for so many years.
But my morals prevented me from taking any such thoughts into action.
The same way those morals have done for you.
Its time we take over that pen and start writing our own future.
Ill be damned to see you refuse to write your own path.
This is your life.
You control what is to become of yourself.
If I must, I will force the pen into your hand myself.
Ill do it with a smile on my face and pride in my heart.
Honored to say that my friend right here is the strongest person I know.
You have made it this far.
The pen is in your power.
I will not be the one to write your next chapter.
I can only hope to be a part of it as you will apart of mine.
I think its time we finally take the reins back.
You push me and I will push you.
Im in it for the long haul.
Day or night I will be there.
You have now been declared my person.
It has been way too long since I have had someone to call my best friend.
I sure as hell will get it right this time.
