Dear Future Friends, Please don't treat me like my last I dream that I'll find support And not need memories from my past I hope that you won't find me annoying And I hope that my sarcasm and humor is understood and taken with a grain of salt I pray that you don't treat me like a little girl And that you understand that just because I don't look broken doesn't mean your words don't hurt The things that people before you have said have damaged me I don't believe I can be loved but assume that everyone loves me Because I don't see a reason to be hated And if you do please go now before our bond becomes a friendship I don't think I deserve my time wasted But people before you have shown that I do The way I was treated feels unfair and unjust I'm left in despair and I don't deserve The love The happiness The joy And the support Because sadly I'm nothing Future friends that's exactly what they made me feel I'm sorry I'm so damaged I'm sorry that every future text that I send feels like I'm clinging onto moments before you leave I'm sorry if I make you feel bad I don't want you to go like the last I don't And friends before I'm sorry you didn't think I was good for you I'm sorry that I relied on you a little too much I'm sorry that I didn't listen when you spoke up And I'm sorry that I'll never be enough

A Letter to my Future Friends
Dear Future Friends, Please don't treat me like my last I dream that I'll find support And not need memories from my past I hope that you won't find me annoying And I hope that my sarcasm and humor is understood and taken with a grain of salt I pray that you don't treat me like a little girl And that you understand that just because I don't look broken doesn't mean your words don't hurt The things that people before you have said have damaged me I don't believe I can be loved but assume that everyone loves me Because I don't see a reason to be hated And if you do please go now before our bond becomes a friendship I don't think I deserve my time wasted But people before you have shown that I do The way I was treated feels unfair and unjust I'm left in despair and I don't deserve The love The happiness The joy And the support Because sadly I'm nothing Future friends that's exactly what they made me feel I'm sorry I'm so damaged I'm sorry that every future text that I send feels like I'm clinging onto moments before you leave I'm sorry if I make you feel bad I don't want you to go like the last I don't And friends before I'm sorry you didn't think I was good for you I'm sorry that I relied on you a little too much I'm sorry that I didn't listen when you spoke up And I'm sorry that I'll never be enough
