Befriend Me

Be my friend if you can

Judge me not

For my ego is already destroyed

I have no will to live

I feel I am alone

My world is dark 

And so cold

No one understands me

No one takes the time

No one will listen to me

No one will give me 

A chance to be who I am

I want to run and play

But no one will play with me

They call me names

And tease me

They think I am crazy

But all I want to do

Is go out and play

All I ever want is a friend

Someone to listen to me

And not judge me

Someone to confide in 

And not tell the world

About my troubles inside of me

Befriend me if you can

Over time you will be my path

Guide me humbly

And show me the way

No need to go talk about it

Death is around me

My thoughts are only to die

And end all this pain

And suffering inside of me

But if you can spare me the time

Just listen for a while

I have so much to say

Give me some time

A part of me doesn’t want to die

But another part of me

Is giving up

I see no hope

My world is dark

My eyes are blind

To the world

My words fall on deaf ears

My actions are often misunderstood

But if you show me the beauty 

Of life again if you can

I have another chance to 

Keep living but not this way

Don’t dictate to me

Listen to what I have to say

Then we talk together

Not judging not criticizing

Not telling me right from wrong

But giving me ideas

And solutions

Hope and inspiration

To carry on

Be my friend 

Befriend me if you will

Give me a chance to live at will

To go out and play

To smile and laugh

To dance in the rain

And get burned in the sun

So I can get a tan

Don’t laugh at me

But let us laugh together

Don’t judge me

But show me the way

Without telling me

Lift me up when I am down

Cheer me up when I am not

Pick me up when I fall

But don’t laugh at me

And don’t judge me

This is my last call

Will you be my friend

Before my end
