poems from a lonely girl

My Friend's Speech

A/N:The following is not written by me ,however i did edit it a little and add grammar, punctuation etc.

You don't have to go. This world is a piece of shit, it's true, but there is always sunshine somewhere. Stars shine brighter in the dark.Taking your life is the easy way out, but the hard way will make you so much stronger.

Committing suicide leaves so many people, so many of your friends and family,  broken. They honestly would never be able to forgive themselves if you died and they probably wouldn't ever completely recover. If you hate yourself then I understand that.

Every tiny mistake I make just makes things worse for me and people think I have it easy, but I don't. I find it hard to make friends and if I hadn't had one of my close friends in the class I wouldn't have made many friends

I can't trust people easily and no one understands me, and I'll sometimes sit and think "I should tell all my friends about this" and then I realise the people I'm talking about are characters I've brought to life in my head, that aren't actually real people - and that scares me.

It scares me that I don't seem to be in touch with reality and then I retreat further from it, and I've built up a shell that no one knows is there, a shell which is a different person from who I really am. No one knows the true me because I change the way I act to fit in, and that is just so hard.

I know you're going through a lot and I know you think you're worthless,that no one loves u but saying you can't do anything and thinking of the bad things about urself instead of all the good things is just going to make it worse.

A lot of the time my brain tells me I can't do anything right, that I make stupid mistakes and that I'm an idiot, that no one actually cares about me, and for a while I actually believed it.

But then I started looking on the bright side, I started finding something which I loved and doing it so I improved at it, I made friends and talked to old friends. It helped. More than i thought it would.

So find something you love, practise doing it, talk to people, make better relationships and trust me you will find a reason to live.

Thank you
