Friendships

Hey, if you don’t know me, I’m Jenny, writing to you all. I’m here to talk about friendships. They are the ones that got me all the way here. But in each of them, there was a villain, an arch nemesis, who had realised how well I and my best friend were doing and all they wanted to do was steal them away. But that god I am distant from all those people and don’t hope to meet with them again. 

Moving forward,
friendships can be as strong as a rock,
winds go by,
and so do storms 
but your relationship is as stubborn as the floor, 
refusing to move,
but when it does, 
it brings along an earthquake.
Your friendship can be as weak as a flower,
touch and damaged,
 here today and gone tomorrow,
 if you leave it untouched,
 it will stay untouched
Even the mere thought of any action towards it causes concern.
It fades. 

Friendship can make you feel replaced
Like you are worthy of no other.
Like you can be better than someone
And you ignore the feeling. 
When you constantly trying to be the person they want you to be
But that leaves you feeling like a failure, 
Then someone comes to help. 
An angel descended from heaven
Time goes on, 
So you move on, 
Friendships,
 You hope would last forever,
 But hope shall seek the end one day

Friendships can make you feel insecure
Like you have no one else
Like you are not good enough
Someone could be better
For the dearly loved
But take my advice
If they don’t love you,
That the way you shall remain,
Then they are not worth,
The person going through the pain.

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.
