JUST BE A FRIEND

JUST BE A FRIEND

We are not going to discussĀ 
Whose fault is was
As humans, perfection is a flaw
A station the human train
Will not arrive to, at allĀ 

We stand and fallĀ 
We are helped up
Only to fall againĀ 
To repeat the sameĀ 
Life's gameĀ 

I look at you and see myselfĀ 
Where I was or used to beĀ 
Mistakes and wrong actionsĀ 
Like a trap, had confined my feetĀ 

Never believing I could be freeĀ 
I settled, and made my bed
Being a failure was as far as I could see

But unconditionally loveĀ 
Was shown to me
Someone saw in me, what I could be
And from my weaknesses and insecuritiesĀ 
Love lifted me

So take my hand and stand tall
I will pick you up if you fallĀ 
You've got a friend in me
For I will never forgetĀ 
The love that was shown to me.

Wilford Barker.

A wonderful message of hope and empathy in this beautiful piece. Sometimes we just need our feelings validating and to still have love and support. Which is what you express so well here in this lovely writeĀ
