Min(e)d Friend

Min(e)d Friend

A Poem by Michelle May
"

Thoughts from the mind, he's a good friend of mine.

"

I faced death today and I told him I wasn’t dying today.

 

So he looked at me with regret and said, “I heard you that young bull and I know that we just met. 

I want to clarify everything you have inside.

So strong, so awake, and so humble with a straight mind.

Sorry to interrupt ya but I was just trynna have a great time messin with ya soul and mind.

Sorry for thinking you were mine.

All I did was have your soul in mind.

 And by the way remember when you were feeling down and would always cry?

 Yeah that was me that put you down and lied.

That was me messing with ya mind.

That was me blinding all the light.

 And yes that was me causing all the fights.

 That was me making you hate yourself more than twice.

 I was there when you almost sacrificed.

That was me when you almost suffocated yourself and died.

That was me putting your pride aside while you were trying to find advice through that device.

That was me when times were tight.

 I blocked all the daylight and guess what, you were right all the time.

Every excite, I pushed aside with spite.

All the confidence you had, I broken it down with grime.

So I can have you, because you’re all mine.

I wanted you for all of you, and not just a portion of a dime.

But I realized all I put you through was worth it all the time.

 

All the time you felt down and cried, yeah I laughed but now you survived.

Yeah I put you down and lied, but now you start to smile and now you strive.

Yeah I caused the fights and made you hate yourself more than twice, but now you’re way more wise.

Yeah you almost killed yourself and died, but now you know that’s not a homicide but a come alive.

And yes that was me putting your pride aside, but now you smarter to know not to depend on that device.

I blocked all the daylight, but now you know how to shine.

I blocked all the excitement, but now you’re more divine.

Look at all the confidence you have now, all because of that decline.

And all of this because you’re mine. I told you to trust in yourself, I’m all that’s on your mind and you’re all that’s in mine.”
