I sit here in shock
Staring at my computer screen
It just goes to show you
Things are never what they seem
I'm listening to you,
You tell me you're worthless
No good at anything
You say you feel hopeless
You want to stop
But can't bring yourself to it
You want to change
But don't know how to show it
I hear of the marks
And scars on your arms
I think of your pretty eyes
Your smile & charms
How could this happen
To someone like you?
Someone so beautiful inside
Beautiful like you
But you sit alone & cry at night
Thinking of what they did to you
I can't imagine your pain
Or what you've been through
But you know I'm here
Through thick & through thin
I'll help you get out
Of this trouble you're in
Because to me,
You're not worthless
You're not to blame
And you're not hopeless
You're my friend & my world
Here to help when I need it
So now I'll do the same for you
You've helped me out in tough times
And now I'll help you
Because you're my friend
And I love you

aww, you can really feel your concern for your friend. I feel sorry for them.
