I am a Friend

I am a Friend

A Poem by Vasi Isaac Masia (Ake)
"

It is about honouring a friendship and be there for a friend.

"

I am a Friend.

 

I will love and cherish our friendship.

Our secret needs no one else to know. It is confidential.

It will be here in my hippocampus and only you have the key to the archive.

We may share a thousand secret.

But your privacy is respected. I am a friend.

 

I will rather stab you in the front than at your back. I am a friend.

Your problem will be my problem. Your worries will be my worries

I will cry with you, pick you up when you seek a hand.

Should you need to share weights when it is too heavy for you,

You have two extra shoulders here; I am a friend.

 

I won’t brag or force into your issue.

I have respect. I will wait. I am a friend.

But I won't stand and see you suffer for too long.

I am a friend.

 

I am not like others but I am a friend.

I may not run with you in public after your success

But when you are home alone, I will never miss the chance to send you a

CONGRATULATION I am a Friend.

 

I may pull back when I see you make new connections

But will always be available for a chat

Should you need an old friend. Reach out

I am a friend.

 

I am this introvert who’d watch you enjoy others’ companions in a distance

Admire the joy, laughter and happiness

And tell you I am jealous because I am honest

I am a friend.

 

I may not be out with you on picnics road trips or barbeque

But you will find me beside your hospital bed holding your hand

There will be no delay I will be there as soon as I am told.

I am a friend.

 

I’d take a million step back and see you happy with others

But a single step to be right next to you.

When they abandoned you I will be there.

I am a friend.

 

I will struggle with you and not complain.

I will not be of much help at your party after a success

But will save my resource and strength for the next pursuit.

I am a friend.

 

We will fight its inevitable,

Breaking the bond is a choice

But it is not mine

I am a friend.
