Dear Sarah,
Why are you so sad?
You shouldn't let people tell you
whether you're good or bad
Why do you feel like you're about to drown?
You shouldn't let your friends,
or even your parents drag you down
Why do you feel drained of energy all the time?
You should be full of life
remember, happiness is not a crime
Why can't I see happiness in your eyes?
You shouldn't let people convince you that
the whole world consists of lies
Dear Sarah,
Why aren't you a happy girl?
You're sweet, thoughtful and one of a kind
don't be fooled by your mind
(l.p)

This poem is to my beloved friend Sarah. I met her last year at the boarding school. She is indeed a wonderful person! She cares about people and she has a mind worth sharing to everyone who wants to hear it. I hope she breaks the chain one day, and that her parents let her be who she is. 'cause who she is, is a gift to the world. Keep holding on, Sarah. I believe in you.
