A letter

I had a letter today on the envelope was my name 

As  I started to read  the letter I could see the writer was in pain. 

The writer was happy the writer was sad 
The writer was angry the writer was mad

The writer was reaching out in a letter to a trusted friend 

The writer was asking someone to listen 
And help their broken heart mend

The writer was full of unhappiness and their words were filled with sorrow 

The writer wanted a better life and a brighter tomorrow 

As I  was reading this letter I began to cry
I had to stop a few times to wipe my eyes dry.

The writer of this letter  who could it be 
 I recognise the writing  my god the writer is me
