Two True Friends

"Two True Friends"

Once there was a time, not so long ago
Where I was striving and struggling to be heard...
Then I met a girl and a guy who always hear me,
Even if I don't speak a word.

Two friends who like and understand me
Who destroyed my need to pretend,
Two friends who when I need a hand
Have a hand ready to extend.

Two friends that were in front of my nose...
I almost kept old friends instead,
But now that I think back on before,
I believe I was out of my head.

But glad I picked them out of the crowd,
Glad we all picked each other in time,
People who have similarities- one of which
Being a love of poetry and rhyme.

Life seems clearer with them at my side-
They're there when I need advice,
And whenever I just need support or a hug
I get them: most often, though, I get them twice.

And whenever I lose my heart they help me get it back-
Or when I lose my mind or begin to give ways to "just trends."
Three people who keep each other on track-
Two of which I'm proud to call my best friends.
