Fake No Way

Feeling down and out.

A close friend felt it and immediately 
reached out.

Knowing my optimism is still inside 
me.

Enlightening me, was her goal, 
toward my true reality.

Never gave up, and called to check 
in 

Open with optimism was my only 
kin, 

Way Beyond what I expected, I 
respect you all the way! 

So, fake? 
No.
Never a trait she has reflected.
