Dear You

Dear You,

 

Whoever You are,

Let me tell You the Story of My Life,

As if You care.

 

I was once happy.

 

I started to look at the world with wide open eyes.

 

I used to cry every day.

 

I left my hopes behind.

 

I blew out the sparks of courage.

 

I only held love for two people.

 

I tried to die.

 

I wanted to leave the world.

 

I realised my mistake.

 

I work hard to live again.

 

So learn from my mistakes.

And one thing for You to remember:

Focus on the hope, the joy, and the love that life brings.

Forget the despair, the anger, and the hate that You feel.

They will only ever bring You down.

And You only get one shot at life.

 

From,

Me.

Great message, great voice. Very well written. An open letter that everyone needs to see, really. Hope is so important. And someone's mistake can be another's inspiration.

Very emotional and well written, a truthful message. Great writing and use of a letter. :) hold on to hope is a line I often tell people, and this is an amazing use.
