Wrote this 4 years ago...it’s for you

This one is for you,
For you, who is struggling and broken.
For you, who is feeling like it’s all too much and too hard. For you, who might have given up.
This is for you, who can’t see a purpose, who can’t stand the pain. This is for you, who feels alone in this crowded world.
This is for you, who uses artificial happiness to feel love.
You have tried everything, and you are still stuck. You have done what you can, and you are still there. You have run away, but are still here.
The things you have done creep you out, You have seen the darkest.
The things you have tried frustrate you, You have heard it all.
The things you have trusted failed you, You have felt loss.
You turn into somebody else around everyone else. You turn numb when you feel too much.
You turn away when reality faces you.
This is for you, who is desperate to get out. This is for you, who can’t wait to be relieved. This is for you, who is haunted by thoughts.
You aren’t comfortable around others. You aren’t yourself around others. You aren’t in the same reality as others.
You don’t want to feel like you did those days. You don’t want to keep it this way.
You don’t want to continue this lifestyle.
You screamed for help. You begged for sleep. You prayed for relief.
Listen,
This is for you, who uses liquid to get up. This is for you, who uses pills to stay up. This is for you, who uses pain to keep up.
This is for the scared. This is for the broken. This is for the lonely.
For you, who is crying alone. For you, who is fighting this battle. For you, who is dying inside.
For you, who lost a loved one to something. For you, who is in chains somewhere. For you, who is hooked up on something.
You can’t see tomorrow. You can’t find hope. You can’t grasp it.
This is for you, who has tried the worst. This is for you, who got caught in the trap. This is for you, who fell hard on the ground.
You feel forgotten. You feel left out. You feel not needed.
For so long you have fought. For so long you have tried. For so long you have been quiet.
This is hard. This is challenging. This is for you,
You are not alone. You are loved. You are not forgotten.
