Letter To Who Needs It
I’m not a miracle worker and I can’t promise you much. I can’t make the words go away. I can’t make you love yourself. I can’t give you an appetite to eat. I can’t just magically make you sleep. I can’t turn back time and magically explain what happened between now and then. I know there’s a lot of light outside and I can’t dim the lights but I got a room you can hide in. Anything outside I can bring it to you. I can’t turn down the volume I know the outside world can get really loud but we can close the windows. What I can do is I can wait right here with you until you’re ready. We can talk all day or I can just sit here and be silent. I could be across the room, a few towns over, or right next to you. We can play games or listen to music. You can use my face to practice your makeup or if you need to hit something I’ll be there. We can do whatever you want just as long as you know when we leave the room and we re-enter the world we’re going to do it together and I’m not going anywhere. I’ll skip school, tell my parents I’ll see them later. I’ll bring some movies, my laptop, and junk food, I got entertainment or I can just sit here and talk to you. It doesn’t matter what we’re doing but throughout the duration of you feeling this way I’m going to be right here until you feel better and when you’re ready, you and I will re-enter the world together. Ok? Just before you do anything let me know.
