Old Friends
June 2, 2009
I have this friend,
This friend of mine,
I ask what's wrong,
She's says she's fine,
But I don't believe her,
She's not the same,
Not her old self,
It's such a shame,
She used to be,
Bright, happy and fun,
She would laugh and bounce,
And smile a ton,
But gone is the light,
Of her old happy smile,
And energy that,
Would go on for miles,
Nothing is left,
Of the person I know,
Why aren't they here?
And where did she go?
It's painful for me,
To sit by and watch,
When it's easy to see,
She needs me so much,
But when I reach out,
To answer her call,
She pushes me away,
And builds up a wall,
I cry, I beg, I plead,
Just let me in,
I care about you,
Because you're my friend.

I can completely relate to this poem. I think I am the person the friend is trying to reach in this poem. I struggle with depression, and my friends is always trying to help me. It's tough for both people in that type of situation.

This is sad, I've felt this way involving a friend before too. I just always let her know i was there but stopped trying to push through that wall. She's not all the way better now but she is part way better.. It can be hard. You did a good job capturing it in this poem.
