A Friend In Need

A Poem

By Angel AdagioPublished 2 years ago Updated 2 years ago 1 min read

I'm the friend that will be the most supportive, kind, and understanding in everything. I will be the biggest cheerleader and the biggest ride or die. But I know that that won't ever come back to me.

I know my love is rare. I haven't found someone like me yet. I don't think I will. My heart is too big for the empty hole that is this world.

My smiles hide the pain inside that no one ever sees. If I said a word, I would be a bad friend. But is lying any better? Double-edged sword. Only I ever get hurt.

How can I be a friend when the friend I need won't see beyond the surface. I'm yelling, "HELP ME". Please see me and not the version I keep pretending to be.

Please, put your glasses on and look at me. I need you. So desperately.

    "Please, put your glasses on and look at me" is such a good line.
