My Best Friend Saved Me
There was a child that I knew,
Who was sad and very blue.
No one ever saw the pain,
His energy began to wane.
He had many friends you see,
Wore a smile to seem happy.
Yet inside he would weep,
A turmoil so very deep.
He felt as if he wasn’t there,
That deep down no one cared.
He couldn’t seem to understand,
Why no one held his hand.
Challenges, alone he had faced,
Locked inside his mental space.
He felt the world was not his friend,
He just wanted it all to end.
Then one day his best friend came,
She said, “Tell me why you’re in pain!”
He looked at her and dropped his guard,
He cried and cried so very hard.
He spoke of horrors old and new,
How his self-hate grew and grew.
How he felt no one cared,
How everyday he was unprepared.
She Spoke gently to him,
“We love you let us in.
If you ever feel down,
I will be straight around.
Life can make us feel small,
Other people can be cruel.
But you are not them my friend,
Love and kindness are all you send.”
He looked at her tears in his eyes,
She had seen through his lies.
She knew her friend was feeling bad,
It hurt her and drove her mad.
She hugged him and held him close,
He wept and wept on her clothes.
She just sat and waited there,
Waiting for him to start to share.
She couldn’t fix what was in the past,
Those memories would always last.
Yet she would play an active role,
To return the happiness they stole.
All it takes is one person to see,
To make someone feel worthy.
So, remember to love not hate.
Be mindful of what you create.
