Dear you



How've you been?



It's great to talk to you again



I saw you at school today and thought of approaching you



But I was with my friends and didn't really want to



Sorry that guy went and bumped you



Someone should have said something ‘cause that was just plain rude



Ah well, I'm sure he didn't mean it



But maybe you should have relaxed a bit, there's no need to cry like an idiot



It could be worse. Your Mom could be sick



It's no big deal, just next time stop to think



Anyway, I'm going out with the boys



I'd invite you, but you wouldn't like all the noise



Sincerely,



Your friend





Dear you



Hey man, how's life?



I'm guessing painful cuz I saw your leg



You should be more careful with a knife



Oh and that reminds me, we're pals and all



But maybe don't come talk to me in the middle of the hall?



No offence, I don't have a problem with you



But let's keep our conversations away from school



Speaking of which, you should really stop crying in class



It's no wonder you get picked on, you like an ass



Hey man, I'm just playin



Wouldn't want you to go all Super Saiyan



Like seriously, anime? Who watches that?



Maybe the guys would rib you less if you didn't watch that so-called combat



I'd be careful because from what I heard



People are starting to think you're a nerd



And I know you need to talk and I'd love to stay



But I have to get up early tomorrow, busy day



Peace



Your friend





Dear You,



Where were you today? You left me in the dark!



Didn't you remember we were assigned as lab partners?!



I wanted to go with my buddy but Ms gave me you



Why didn't you tell me you'd be away from school?



That's crappy of you dude, you should be more considerate



The damn report's due! How am I gonna finish it?



I'm not mad though, just tell me when you don't feel well



Ugh, gotta go there's the bell



Feel better,



Your friend





Dear you



Where've you been?



It's been three days since you've been in!



You must be really sick, I heard it's going around



Maybe you got poisoned from that permanent frown



You need to lighten up man, life ain't that bad



I mean just think of Jason of he lost his Dad



What gives you the right to be all sad when he isn't?



You cried every day at school, he didn't



I get it can be tough not having so many friends



But maybe if you acted a little cooler you could make amends



For all the damage you've done to your reputation



Is it really that high of an expectation?



Whatever though



Come back soon,



Your friend



Dear You



Dude you shoulda been here you won't believe it!



They're saying some kid hung himself in his paren't basement



That's absolutely whacked, who'd do such a thing?



Must have been some emo freak who was just attention-seeking



Kinda pathetic, really, going so far to get noticed



All he really had to do was quit acting so bogus



And just be a normal human being



His problems weren't that bad it's almost obscene



He probably shuffled his stupid trading card the wrong way



Lol maybe it's good that he's gone anyway



The last thing we need is more freaks



When are you coming back? It's been a week



Regards,



Your friend

Words are tools; to educate, support, mend, and express. They shouldn't be used to break down each other's minds... they should be used to fill the empty spaces in our heads with insight, in order to see what most eyes can't.

You found something beautiful to say... again :)
