This Is For

This is for my uncle who I never got to meet. For my best friend whose life was cut too short. For my aunt who I learned a great deal from. This is for my sister who found a better way to live her life.This is for all those who are broken and damaged beyond repair but never gives up the fight.
For those who climbed out of the dark place one step at a time. For the families who had to watch their loved one’s struggle and couldn’t help. For those who thought they could escape reality but found themselves in even more pain then before. This is for all who also found a better way to live. This poem is for anyone and everyone who needs to read these words to know you aren’t alone.
