Friends

I wanted to write a poem dedicated to so many people because without my friends I would be no where near where I am today!

Friends

We all need friends.

Best friends.

Good Friends.

And yes bad friends.

We all have best friends.

The ones who know all our secrets.

The ones who we can always trust.

The ones who know why we are up.

And try so desperately to hide it when we are down.

They will always guide you to the light in the darkness.

Or hug you in the cold.

Their voice overpowers the demons.

And they will die first before they ever let you give up.

They are the ones who you love like family.

They are your unofficial brother or sister.

The ones who have a special place in your heart. 

And hold that special kind of love.

Good friends are the ones who have good times with,

But not the best times.

They are the ones who mostly have your back.

The ones who will fight for you.

Their relationships have a distance factor. 

With best friends there is no distance to great for friendship.

You will say hi to a good friend and most of the time get a response

But occasionally there will be an echo of your own voice

But most of all good friends are the training ground for best friends.

Bad friends exist to basically show us who not to become. 

They stab you in the back while smile to your front.

You tell them secrets.

And they use them, weapons against them.

They poison you internally without you knowing it.

They are the kind of people who only come to you when they need help.

But when you need it they are far away.

These are the friends who we cut ourselves away from immediately.

Because in the end they only care about one thing.

Themselves.

So be a friend.

Love a friend.

Tell your friends Thank You!

Because without friends our world would be a darker place.
