Dear Freakshow(Inspired by Stan ...

My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I

Got out of bed at all

The morning rain clouds up my window

And I can't see at all

And even if I could it'll all be gray

Put your picture on my wall

It reminds me, that it's not so bad

It's not so bad

It's not so bad

 

(Verse 1:The beginning)

Dear Freakshow,

Hey man. It's life. I'm sorry for how shit I have made this world lately

I know I keep throwing these hits at you and i'm sorry

I knock you down but you get up and i'm proud of you

You have been struggling lately, I can see that

I'm going to tell you how your life started, show you that i'm not that bad of a person

We started together in 2003, a new friendship is boutta start

I'm sorry bout your dad, he just couldn't handle being a father

Your mom raised you on her own for a few years, she is quite strong for that

When you were two, your brother was born

You two got along together so well and your mom raised you guys as a single mother

Few years later, she met a man and they fell in love

He really was your saving grace

Your little family moved in with him, you guys were really happy

Your mom and him got married, they were happy.

Let's get back to you tho

You were a happy kid, had undiagnosed mental health but that didn't stop you

You lived life carefree and that was great

You started school, yea that was a little rough but it's where you met your best friend

You got picked on in grade one until grade 5 but you didn't let that stop you

You kept growing, kept living your life

Kept making memories

Unfortunately, your mom and the man got a divorce

You guys had to move to a new town, leave your old life

I'm sorry to end it on a sad point but I have to go now

Stay strong my friend,

Your friend, Life.

(Verse 2)

Dear Freakshow,

Hey man, it's life again.

How you been? I'm sorry for leaving on such a bad note

Let's pick up where we left off

In 2014 we moved to a new town after your mom and the man divorced

You thought things would be different here and they were

Your mom met a new man, he was quite the character but you liked him

He gave you guys the happiness you were missing

Remember when he went all out on your first real Christmas?

That's a core memory you won't forget

Age eleven was when things started to change for you

You were the new kid at school and it was hard but you dealt with it

Age twelve, you were diagnosed with ADHD and you were put on medication.

I'm sorry about that one

You started Grade 7 at twelve

It was a struggle for you and you kept gettin bullied but you held your head high

Age thirteen is when we started falling out and i'm sorry

The bullying got worse and we kept fighting

April 12, 2017, you tried to end our friendship

You almost succeeded to

But we pulled through

We tried to get better but it was really hard

It took time and I knocked you down alot

But we pulled through and slowly started to get along

I'm sorry to end it on this bad note again but I gotta get going

Stay strong my friend.

Your friend, Life.

(Verse 3: Ending)

Dear Freakshow,

Hey man, been awhile hey?

Seems like you have been doing well

I'm sorry for ending it on that point again but this part of life is a long one

Age fourteen, you started grade 9

That's when your life really changed

I threw so many blows at you and i'm sorry

You lost your innocence, started hanging with the wrong people to

You kept getting bullied and started self harming pretty bad

I'm sorry about those punches I threw

I know it was a hard year but hey we pulled through

We learned a lot and started growing up faster

Age fifteen, you started grade 10, now that was a change

We started to get better but ended up falling again

You lost a lot of people, failed some classes and started partying alot

By the end tho, you seemed to change.

Age sixteen, you started grade eleven

I dragged you through hell and i'm sorry

You got into it with the wrong people and was skipping classes

You got into some bad shit and bad drugs

You were falling down and I tried to help you up but you wouldn't take my hand

I'm sorry that I just left you and let you give up

A few months later tho, you called me up saying you needed help

I was there in an instant, I pulled you out and It was hard but we made it

We made it to where we are today

I am so proud of you and how far you've come

Keep holding on my friend, we are going places in life and we will make it far

There you go my friend, a little recap on your life

Keep holding on, I hope to hear from you soon

Your friend, Life

(Verse 4: Response)

Dear Life,

Hey Life. I'm sorry I didn't respond earlier.

I appreciate you checking in on me. Means a lot.

Yea it's been pretty shit lately but I always remember you're here

Thank you for reminding me of my life and everything I have survived

It really did help me

I'm sorry about our falling out in grade eight

I'm glad we survived and you helped pull me through

I don't know what i'd do without you

We really have been through alot but im happy we are still here together

Thank you for taking my hand and pulling me out of that hole i was in back in 2019

If it weren't for you, who knows where I would be?

Without you, I cant keep going

You remind me that I just gotta keep holding on

And you're right, you're not that bad of person

Until we speak again, please don't leave me.

Your friend, Freakshow
