I am you

I am you

by Ahmad Cox

Hello

How are you doing

Whoever you are

I know that you are out there

You are the one who never seemed to fit in

You are the one who never seemed to get anything right

Who felt like you never really mattered

Or like life is just some cruel joke

You

Who felt like the best way to deal with things

Was to numb the pain

To hold it inside

To bottle it up

So that it doesn't come out

You

Who might not trust people

And feels like the best way to protect themselves is to shield their heart

You

Who are jaded,

And pained

And have been lost in the rain

And has ever lost their way

And don't quite know when things will get better

I am you

I know how you feel

I was the person

I am that person

I feel your pain

I know who you are

And I know how hard it can be sometimes

To really know what it's like

To actually step into the light

And even comprehend

That life can get better

That someone could actually understand

That you are actually worth living

That you are worth anything at all

I know you

I am you

And I say this with every last ounce of my strength

And every last ounce of my life

When I say that life is always worth living

Sometimes it can be hard to see when you are going through the rain

And when it seems like black clouds and darkness is all you can see

But every life means something

You just have to believe
