This is a poem from a long time ago + is originally by a white woman, for those who see this and are curious as I was. I think OP is saying that their friend copied it down as a dedication, not that said friend is the original author

Hi ..

Sorry just an update. Still very sick and mostly can't do enough art to post. I want that to change but cannot rush ... if anyone ever wants to ask me anything or message me it is always welcome I get bored a lot because I spend a lot of time in bed. I am still alive for now. That is all
