This is for you

To the person trapped by his own lies-
This is for you.
To the person who longs for what he will never have-
This is for you.
To the person who had it all and threw it away-
This is for you.
To the person who seeks one pain to replace another-
This is for you.
To the person who cannot see an end and wishes to create his own-
This is for you.
I am you.
My heart and yours are connected.
I do not know your name,
I do not know the color of your skin,
I do not know where you place your faith,
I do not know your education,
I do not know your occupation,
I do not know your past.
But if you relate to any of the first ten lines,
We are connected.
By our own faults and fears, we are the same.
The pain we share makes us one.
Let us build our own place,
Away from those whom we have hurt and have hurt us.
Let us not exile ourself in solitude, but as a community.
Let us start anew with those who are like us.
Let us be each other's crying-shoulder.
Let us, together, try to overcome the guilt and pain in our lives.
Let us go, and be one.

To the angel whose brilliant light revealed to me just how dark the world was-
This is for you.
To that same angel, whose existence is the sole reason for mine-
I thank you.
To that angel who I mistreated and cast aside-
I beg forgiveness.
To that angel, who left to help another soul through this dreary life-
I miss you...
