Be the Change / Patty Miller (Best Friend )
I wrote this poem/lyrics in memory of Becky in hopes that it will send the message to anyone in pain that you are not alone, and you are loved. And to everybody so we can be the change and stop these feelings of hurt and despair in our loved ones, neighbors, and fellow human beings.
Life has its ups and downs
Sometimes the bad outweigh the good
And all the pain that's kept inside can not be understood
We have
all felt alone with our deepest darkest secrets
the red that floods our eyes in torment
through all the passing seasons
Life would be easier if we didn’t have to deal -
But death will
only open up many wounds to heal
A lethal mistake
...feeling that no one can comprehend
but seek for help and you will find a willing shoulder to lend
Alone
youre not, but scared you are
Reluctant to open up and heal your painful scars
Its hard to understand in this current frame of mind
But you
will see the light through the darkness in due time
We are all human, and have the ability to lead
So lead yourself to wellness with all the help you need
Call a friend, a mother, a teacher – just pick up the phone
You are loved by so many - you
are not alone
Hold on and in time you’ll find your way
For you can never feel joy without experiencing lifes pain

In general we humans are naturally inclined to judge
which inevitably creates barriers that alienate the love
Its a daily process and struggle to keep an open mind
but we all must concour our judgements a leave negativity behind
As the saying goes, which im sure we can recall
"
If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all"
We can never be too sure of what our words can do to others
we must dig deeper and learn to love, if not,
respect our brothers
The walls we build around eachother
the mallice and derange
Must end as it is time for us all to come together
unite, and
be the change.
