Success Through Friendship

A concerned glance,

a caring touch,

it’s just enough

to pick you up and send you off.

Climbing back up,

it’s slippery and steep,

but your friends will be there to help you make the leap.

So enough with the self-pity,

stop wallowing in your misery.

You aren’t alone,

You have friends who care.

So pick yourself up and

Dare to Live Again.

Dare to Love Again.

Dare to Be There For Others.

Those little things,

a rub on the back,

a hug,

a look full of compassion,

they are like little lights

to help us get through the darker days.

On our own we’re merely blind,

but with help from friends

we can only succeed.

High School Graduation

I never thought I’d break tradition,

but emotions have too much ammunition.

Blasting me with feelings,

poetry begins my healing.

I’m frantically seeking closure

‘cause I can’t believe it’s over.

High school came and went

and now I’m being sent,

commissioned by God

I’m joining his squad.

I’ll miss this place,

but once again I’ll show my face

for this is not good-bye,

it’s I’ll see you later.
