Okay first of all... sorry about the language in this poem. I'm going to edit most of or at least try to... my best friend is clinically depressed... she wrote this and gave it to me one night crying her eyes out. She is my best friend... no one could understand me like she does... and I'm the only one she'll actually open up to... it's hard for me to see her like this... please read this and tell me what yall think I should say to her to make her happy again... I can't seem to find the right words myself.


I never knew we could live in a world so cold
where everything seems so bold
I want to unfold
let myself out
show them what it's all about
wake up idiots
there is no "lord"
and if there is
I wanna break him like a cord.
Everyone believes
but ****** LISTEN
damn PLEASE
he's not alive
you can't deny
you can't see him
so how do you know it's real??
If he's really there,
here's only here to kill
you're not gonna live
so shut up and pop this pill
**** church
quit listening to people purch
it's time to quit playing games
and start breakin frames
start tryin to live this short life right
start putting up a fight
open up your eyes
and see the dreadful lights

I hate my life
I wanna be stabbed with a knife
my mom's a *****
someone put a curse on her
maybe a witch
my dad is dead
but I'm glad he's peacefully sleeping in a bed
I've been in love
but someone ****** it up
someone from "above"
but I'm still remaining tough
it's hard to be strong
when everything I do is wrong
someday~ I might live among
among the best
so **** the rest
I want a responsible person I can turn to in the future
even when my world is crashing
and I feel like slashing
someone who cares
I think that is rare
no one will ever really care
so **** it all
disobey the law
we're all gonna fall
we're just gonna die
there is no reason for anyone to lie
your whole purpose of living is dying
there's no reason to stay
nothing will ever be okay.

Wow this is scary, some1 is definatly living a tortured life, to have this much anger. I thought I was bad. You must be a good friend though, for her to trust you with this. Let her know you are there for her & you care about her & life's too short to waste on hate. I hope this gets better for both of you LOVE ELMO <3 SMILE

Wow some hate filled emotions. I sometimes get to a stage in my life where I dont feel as if I belong here but never this bad. I always have someone to talk about it with like my boyfriend. I dont know what to say except be there for your friend. I mean you already show that you are. Dont give up on her.

Hi,

That was very deep!
I think the other two replies said it all. If she doesn't have anyone else to give her some of the joy's of life, you are her friend and you already gave enough proof to that. You just need to let her know how much you care about her!

Life's too short
To throw away
The souls we meet
From day to day

Just take a hold
On the ones who care
And all their sorrows
You must share

Thanks yall   She's had a lot of things to happen to her... but I think she's getting better... I'm helping her out as much as I can... she won't realy let anyone get close to her and that just makes it harder to be there for her... I mean she's like my sister and I would do anything at all to help her out in any way but sometimes I just can't and it feels like I'm not doing as much as I can or I'm not good enough to bring her out of her hole.
When she gave me this poem she had had a fight with her mom and she was crying and I was crying and BLAH I just broke down... it's really bringing me down to her to see her like this... I have family problems too with my "dad"... if I should even call him that and it's hard enough for me to see her having to go through this after me. I'm running out of things to say to her... "It'll be okay" just doesn't seem to work anymore.
Tell me what ya'll think... maybe you have the answer... I sure as hell don't.

AnGeL,
there are no words that I can say
to make the hurting go away
but if you need an ear to bend
just call on me, email your friend.

troubled girl, rest your hate
time is short, love is great
if only things were what you see
how simple then this life would be
if eveything were as it seems,
what would become of hopes and dreams?
indeed this world is a hectic place
but look into the depths of space.
see the stars, they twinkle bright
and add beauty to the darkest night.
we can't reach them, but still they're there
with wondrous glamour for all to share.          the same is the things we cannot see.
that's just the way they need to be.
if you havent noticed this of man,
he destroys all things within his hand.
the most precious things,we cannot hold,
they can't be bought, they can't be sold.
like the stars we all can see,
thats just the way they need to be.
