To My Friends

Forget you all, I could not
Indeed, I've become distracted
So many times I walked away
When I should have interacted

I'm trying to spread out
Maybe spreading myself too thin
But for now, I will cling to you
And I won't have to let go of him

I wish I didn't have to fight-
Fight this war to even the scales
But life is all in the balance-
I've found that in so many tales

And so I shall push and pull
Add simplicity, rid myself of fear
For though I may push away
I need you all, now, here.
