Dear family and friends i will never be the one who wakes you in the middle of the night when i know you are sleeping or the one who openly cries i will always be the one who hides my tears and smiles i will always be the one who pretends that im ok when my world is braking down but do not leave me in fear of my distrust or in anger that i have failed to talk to you for it is the people who have left me already who have made me this way ,it is in fear that you will misunderstand or be angered by the things that i may say that i fail to talk with you, it is in fear that i am not good enough for you that i distrust you and feel that you may not stay, i will never be the one who wants to be touched all the time or the one who never needs space, but do not leave me in fear that i dislike you or in anger that i need to be alone, for it is because of the people who i have hurt already and the ones who have hurt me that have caused me to act this way, it is because i fear that i may hurt you that i want to be alone, it is in fear that your touch will no longer feel sweet to me that i resist you, I will never be the one who is perfect or the one who is easy but despite these many things i will continue to write my next letter

dear friends and family do not leave me because of my mistakes or because of my challenges it is these things that have made me who i am because of this I will never be the one who hits or hurts you or the one who calls you names, i will always be the one who holds you and tells you that it's ok and I will always tell you when i think your in trouble and i will never leave you when youve done wrong because i have been hit and i have been called names i have been left for my mistakes and i have been abandoned when i was in trouble and i do not want you to feel these things although i come with my own luggage i also come with my own special talents and traits that i have learned though everything if you can't except my luggage then you can't except me
your's truly

I think that speaks for everyone to a degree.

beautiful letters. it's terrible that so many people do abandon or treat poorly those who suffer from mental disabilities. while I would never do that, and I don't suffer from any of these mental disabilities, I think this is wonderful. Great job :)

and it's so sad when those related to people with mental illness are so closed off that they can't learn to accept it. hopefully the letter help someone's family accept them better :)
