Just a Friend

To the world 
you need to be strong
you need to be the joker, the entertainer

make everyone laugh
keep everyone happy
the man of strength, who don’t have fears

who never falters
who never gets weak
who never doubts himself 

let me be your pit stop
a haven of self worth
the place where you can refuel

be yourself
cry if you need to
laugh if you want to
let rip in frustration
just be at peace
no acting
no expectations
just a friend with no hang ups…
