Let me be your shoulder

I haven’t written in a while. I’m laying here in the dark as I’ve been for the last hour and a half. It’s now 2:54 am and I can’t help but think about all the people out there hurting. All the people out there silently crying alone because they don’t want others to see they are in pain. All the people who feel alone and misunderstood. I wish I could love you all. I wish I could wrap my arms around you so you feel the warm embrace of someone who cares. When I was hurting I longed for that embrace. When I was alone I longed for that comfort of someone being there. Many nights I laid alone as time pasted excruciatingly slow. It seemed that every second dragged on and my mind flew. I wish I could create a space for those like me who have been broken, abuses, misguided, misunderstood, confused, afraid, lost, alone, and forgotten. A space were we all feel connected, understood, and loved. It has to start somewhere so I’m hoping it can start with me. Let me be the friend you’ve needed for so long. The shoulder to rest your head upon. The ear to listen to your whispered fears. The person who puts a smile on your face and replaces all the darkness in your heart. The person that helps you remember how fearless and important you. Let me be the force that surrounds you bringing you positive vibes. Let me be the fence that keeps out all the hatred and self loathing from creeping inside. Let me be your confident when you want someone to hear the stories you tell. Let me be strength you need to heal until you can heal yourself. Let me be there for you. Let’s do this together.
