Stay
When the darkness
Tries to overtake me
When I’m forced under the water
Again and again
They haven’t left my side
They haven’t stopped fighting
To keep me
From disappearing
Forever
They are my friends
They are the people
I can joke with
I can make fun of
I can be myself in front of
And I know
They will never
Stop backing me up
They will never
Give up on me
They will keep holding on
They will put up with
The worst parts of me
And love me
They will listen
When no one wants too
They will allow me
To cry
And won’t judge
I feel like I can go to them
With anything
I hate letting people know
I have vulnerabilities
I hate letting them see me cry
But with my friends,
I’m not scared of anything
I hope I’m as good to them
As they are to me
They should know
I will listen
To whatever they have to say
I will drop everything for them
I really do love them
They mean a lot to me
I hope I never forget
How good they’ve been to me
Or how much I need them
I would never forgive myself
If they left
Because of me
