You Mean the World to Me

Today, I was really scrambling for what to write. That, to a degree, worries me, since I, hopefully, will have many more posts to make in the distant future. However, tonight, out of nowhere, I got the chance to have an amazing 2 hour long conversation with my best friend. And the amazing feeling that I have now, so soon after the conversation, really speaks out to how much it meant to me. And I'm under the impression that it meant a lot to this other individual as well, which is really amazing. Because most of the time I find myself feeling alone in this world, surrounded by those who don't understand me, and would rather not put the time and effort into doing so. I lie down in bed so nights, wondering who are really my friends and which of them simply don't care. But now I really know that there is someone out there who genuinely cares. And that... that just means everything to me. It really does.
So this goes out to you, amazing person. Keep being awesome, and your life should be a grand adventure.


You Mean the World to Me

I walk through life
with my head down,
staring at my two feet,
shoulders slumped,
my eyes crying pain,
my heart pumping confusion,
frustration filling my lungs with every breath.
No helping hands,
no words of comfort;
the world just moves on without me,
leaving me behind
as most my so-called friends will.
My hardships weigh down on my back,
pushing me into the ground.
Yet, as I cough up the rocks and rubble,
I hear your voice from far away,
calling out to me,
letting me know you're there.
And, suddenly, everything is right in the world.
I take a deep breath of fresh air,
my lungs filled with the scent of your hair,
and I feel myself rise,
a phoenix,
a fiery strength pushing me on,
encouraging,
helping me to see the world for the first time.
My eyes are clear now,
my heart filled with joy,
my mind at peace,
my life meaningful
and more than simply bearable.

I take a step towards the newly awakened sun,
feeling that I have been roused from my own sleep
for the first time in years.
