A friendship is the most coveted relationship. It is a foundation built upon trust, loyalty, and respect. Friends help us provide better insight into ourselves, whether we want to hear it or not. Together, they assist in achieving balance and pulling us, sometimes by sheer will, through some of our greatest hardships. Anyone you can truly call a friend, hold them close, because friends are blessings.
-I don't always want to be around you
-But it's not because I don't love you
-I do, It's just that
-You're an extrovert, and I'm an introvert
-Sometimes I need
-Time, space
-Alone, for me
-Alone, and free
-Free to think, free to breathe
-See there are some parts of me I can't share
-Some parts of me I don't dare
-You may feel it's not fair to you
-My defensive mechanism that keeps my life, for a long time, from feeling like a prison
-I rely mostly, no, almost always on me
-That is why I lock inside my deepest thoughts and dreams
-From myself and everyone else
-Sweet, sour
-Weak, power
-My words are always louder
-Not always right, but it helps me sleep through the night
-Rest, to the next day; Always, one more fight
-I'm sorry you feel hurt
-But I still want our friendship to work
-So do what you want to, and I'll do what I have to
-Not about control just doing what it takes for me to feel whole
-Maintain my senses and cleanse my soul
