Friends

They all tell me that God

has a plan for me

But what it  is I don't know 

I cannot see

How rude of me

Have i introduced you to

My old friend pain ?

He says i was just too happy

So he's come by again

He's brought a few friends over

Dark and Despair

They're throwing me a party

Just to show how much they care

I wonder if this was all

Part of his plan

For this blind child of God

Who is now a lost man

Inside my heart the sun shines bright

But the forecast calls for rain

Oh by the way...

Have you met my old friend pain? 

The music's getting louder

And it's getting harder for me to cope

Its no coincidence that

I've reached the end of my rope

But wait......

Have you met my new friend hope?

Nice poem, clever as well. using emotions as friends...even pain and misery can be friends, i know i have welcomed them in way too many times.

m fav part. someitmes wen we are happy and doing well it's like the Adversary wants us to be miserable, and so yes, this makes complete sense.

i enjoyed the poem, it had a little bit of humor, and it was easy to read.

this is a really great poem ,im sure almost anyone could relate to this, i know i can ,great work, hope is a friend i would like to keep!!!

[Sheila Marie Carr]

Wonderful...you did such a great job on this, I love the title "Friends", it brings the reality of misery to life.
Indeed, this was a spectacular piece and I really enjoyed it.

Very creative and very strong. Everyone goes through the dark days and every one has a different translation of what that moment is like in their life. You have brought style and light to a dark period in your life and hopefully others will remeber that the friend name "Hope" is always there and close by. Standing "O" Mr. Lopez.

"Have you met my old friend pain?" "Have you met my new friend hope?" A contrast but a happy one. I enjoyed reading work, with so much truth. K

Great work!!

[Meredith Leigh]

This was actually awesome. I loved the whole idea of the poem, and the way you penned it. The flow was great and the idea was down right magnificant. I especially loved this part:

'Have i introduced you to
My old friend pain ?
He says i was just too happy
So he's come by again'

That was so cool and creative. Wonderful job!

Creative how you used emotions as friends
My fave part:The music's getting louder
And it's getting harder for me to cope

Keep up the good work!

Nice piece...my favorite part was:

Have i introduced you to
My old friend pain ?
He says i was just too happy
So he's come by again
He's brought a few friends over
Dark and Despair

I definately got the image of a party at your expense and felt the audacity of pain. Way to go.
