Best Friend


       Dear Sister of my Heart, also best friend of mine.
       though too introvert ,  you are superfine.
       Me , basically extrovert trying to guide you
       but failing to change your overall views.
   
       I’m  confident, not to be overpowered,
      but you are hesitant to show your power.
      Me having lots of friends to enjoy in full.
      You canot not share your feelings, being fearful.

       Me, energetic taking life as  challenge.
       Adverse circumstances ! You cannot manage.
       Me optimistic, always running active.
       You : Inert, not taking initiative.

     I'm  dynamic to hate any stagnancy.
     You feel no boost, sinking in despondency.
     Spasm of wobbling heart leads your wish to hide.
     I am bold and act prompt on dot to decide.

     You stay in closed cocoon without exposure.
     I'm explorer to proceed on new venture.
    You  imprisons yourself staying in boredom
     Me , wandering free frolic in wide spectrum.

     To confront conflict, I am always ready.
     You present yourself being quiet -steady.
      You don't want to move , I progress on  journey.
      But I run at ease., if you accompany.

     Being elder,  I instruct you throughout year.
      But in urgency you are my my lucky star.
     To honour my advice, my friends are enticed.
     Contrast lies here , as I ask for your advice.
