How to be a True Friend

What does it mean to be a true friend?

Many people push this definition aside

Like throwing away food with an unpleasant taste

And causing hurt

To feed their selfish desires…

Judging away

Is like artificial flavoring found in unhealthy food

Smiling while ignoring the other side's pain

Is ignorant

And you are unknowingly being a bully…

If you do that, you read the friendship book wrong…

To be a true friend,

You can't turn the other person blue!

You need to find the clue

That makes the other person win

Making them feel big

While not acting like a pig

While being daring

And proceeding on the world's most epic adventures!

Show them that you care!

Always be there

While not making them feel bare

As someone would who's lacking fresh air…

Don't cause a scare…

Just give them a hug!

And exterminate the bug!

You need to understand

The complexity in the other side

That you never shove aside

As you look into it even farther than inception…

Acting like a brother and sister unit would

Always extending a hand

Never to be bland

Providing an indestructible bond

Only to those deserving the magic ring!

Just be there

And don’t be a square…

Be real like natural waters

And you'll create a rainbow

In a world where beauty is necessary to thrive

Mental Illness

I decided to write this one because I know many people who have suffered from mental illness. I think people should have a true understanding and be aware of what a mental illness really is, as well as acknowledging its existence! It's just disturbing to see how many people ignore it or decide to judge other people because they think that person is "sad all the time"...

Pain is more than a physical ailment…

While the human race is one that should be simple, but isn’t,

You only see someone's outside

And are unable to feel their inside…

Inside could be filled with unicorns and rainbows,

With blood and hatred,

Or even a tearful sorrowed sky…

You never know…

People are so judgmental these days,

Triggering some to break down

Some to back down

Others to fight back!

A visible smile could mean a world of hurt,

While straight face can mean relaxed or content!

You never know…

A small figure may represent fear…

A large figure may represent carefree…

You never know

Awareness is a must

We're all from the same dimension

That isn’t all smiles unfortunately…

Everyone feels that people need to see unicorns and rainbows all the time…

That is a false assumption!

People turn a blind eye to sorrow

People give a cold shoulder to suffering

People turn their back on someone who’s intensely ailing internally

People want to seize the day without introducing themselves to the truth…

Sheltered...

Confidence may not be bolstering through everyone

Coughing or sneezing isn't the only representative of an illness

It can be buried within your soul as well!

What does that mean?

People who are very jacked up in the head,

It isn't always their fault

You can't point a finger to depression, anxiety, and other mental illnesses…

For all you judgmental people all there,

Don't blindside someone's internal feelings and think they’re full of crap…

These painful emotions are worse to suffer through than a cough or cold

And could even kill you

At the most spontaneous time…

You never know…

Think about that and see how you feel now…

Don't blindside the unknown!

You don't know what it truly means until you're faced with it!

If you see someone’s apparent sorrow

Extend your hand and place it upon their heart…

It can truly save a life!

Keep Fighting

Love can come in many packages, ways, shapes, and forms
Sober or drunk
Through a higher power
Through airborne passage

It's something you can't fathom
When it really means something
It's something you can't always physically show
But it's definitely there

An indescribable feeling
Coming from someone who's felt a world of pain
No one hopes you feel this…

Heaven or hell is right there
In a circle of people who should all be best friends
The eldest will admonish you
KEEP FIGHTING
Don't let hell follow you
Don't let hell consume you

Certain people who shall not be named
With the kindness of the devil
Can take their reign of fire to hell
You are stronger than that
A true and passionate leader
Knows how to stand up for adversity
Knows how to hold her ground
Knows how to be the best, the strongest, the happiest, the sweetest
With the only thing she asks for is respect and love

Counting all the assholes in the room
You are not one of them
You are better than that
The strength of angels will consume you
The devil will perish
You will prevail
Your heart will triumph over adversity
You will win and go far
Haters gonna hate
Don't let it bring you down
Ever

There is a happily after waiting for you
Go catch it with your heart and a letter
Do more than the eldest has done
Do more than the rest have done
Accomplish more than you can fathom
Strive to climb a skyscraper with your actions

Know that you will never fall
Even though the top is a long and difficult climb
You will get there
As long as your heart follows you!
Keep fighting!
