For an almost lost friend

This is a little diddy i wrote a while back for my friend. though now friendships are falling apart, i just really like the message this poem gives.


It's sometimes hard to keep smiling.
To show everyone that your fine,
That you're not hurting inside.
But you do.
You keep smiling.

But you should know
It's okay to be sad, or angry.
It's okay to cry.
You don't have to keep smiling and block the world out.
Someone will always be there to help you through.

Believe in yourself.
Never doubt who you are.
Doubt clouds your vision,
Disbelief withers away your soul.

You shine with a vibrancy unequal to others,
You brighten up peoples days.
Though it may not feel like this to you,
It's true.

Keep your head held high.
Stand up strong.
No one can bring you down.
