They straightened my exhausted spine with gentle hands, I stood up strong for the first time. They picked my dark eyes out of my rotting skull and flipped them right side up, I saw beauty for the first time. They drew ***** blood from my cold veins & replaced it with the warm crimson of a rose, I felt love for the first time. They rewired the mess of broken thoughts in my aching head, *I was okay for the first time.
I don't usually add notes to my work because I believe it takes away from the beauty of poetry but I can't end this without mentioning that my friends are the most beautiful, real, loving & unfortunately, at times, struggling boys you'd ever meet. The past few months have been really bad ones for a lot of them & for me as well & I just need them to understand how much they mean to me, how much they've done for me & how unconditionally I love every last one of them. I know everyone says that someone or something has saved their life at some point... but I can quite literally say, my best friends have saved me from so much it's unrealistic. They've changed my perspective on the entire world & I owe everything to them. Forever & always. Love you all to the ends of the earth xoxo
