The gems I call my friends
Sometimes my depression will try and win
But I don't let him in
He says don't listen to them
No one wants you around he says
He tears me down to shreds
Through the tears I call my friends
No one else compares
To those gems
It always overwhelms me
When they go through hell to make me see
How much I am loved
That statement leaves me stunned
They show me how beautiful I am
No matter what I may think
They say no one cares about insecurities
I thought I was unloved and would be judged
But I just misjudged and tugged them into a hug
No matter what the demon says I will never succumb to him
No matter how much he bugged me
Finally, we say our farewells
My heart swells knowing I survived another day
Thanks to the gems
I am glad I get to call my best friends
Whether they are known it or not
My best friends helped me off the edge
By showing that they cared
Even more than I thought anyone could
If you see this
Just know I'm grateful to have you in my life
You have saved me many times
From succumbing to the demons inside my head
