Best Friend

i look up to the sky
from a far i hear a voice cry 
people saying we don't want you here
your pain and anger all build up into fear
i look upon your face i see your tear

People walking and laughing
you sitting and barfing
when i look at your face 
i know i have to set the pace 
to become your best friend
to be with you beyond the end

to tarry within time
and bless your each rhyme
to hold your hand
to walk you through our land

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
