For My Friend

(I wrote this one last night, after talking to a friend of mine. it was written with him in mind, obviously. it took me forever to get the last three lines, and even now I'm not entirely happy with them. but if I don't post it, I get the feeling I'll rip it to shreds hehe...also the first time in ages I've gotten stuff to rhyme without too much frustration.)

 

 

I hear your pain

in every word you speak

I feel your pain

and it makes me want to weep

 

you speak to me

of your misery

and of how different

you wish you could be

 

you beat on yourself

like there's nothing better to do

and then lash out

when I tell you it's not true

 

and then we argue some more

and what can I do?

 

I try to help you

to the best of my ability

but what good does it do

when you lose all sensibility

 

you repeat to me

time and time again

that you are worthless

nothing but a worthless man

 

I always say the same,

and I'll say it again now

you are not what you say you are

if you were, I would not be proud

to call you my friend.

I know a NUMBER of people who should read this!

 

Really good encapsulation of concept and translation of heart.

Keep 'em coming!

We do not write because we want to; we write because we have to.

although that last part still bothers me...*holds her hand back from touching it even in notepad*

Heh, wonderful poem, Blondemoon - and the last part is good also - even though it's blindingly true.

 

Keep up the good work, and in case you didn't know, Peredhil is quite possibly one of the kindest, most nurturing people here and praise from him is well worth it's weight in zig.

Well written! Again, I can feel that you are trying to help your friend through this poem-- and it rings true with many, especially the part about them saying they're worthless, etc., and as Peredhil said, many people should read this and take it to heart.

 

Way to set an example.

Amazing. Reminds me of a conversation I had with someone just this morning. Kind of funny how it strikes the heart in that certain way that makes you feel like you can truely connect with a poem.

 

Great job hun! *reassuring nuzzles* *chants for more* *waves some flags*
