Self help but not by yourself

The wonders of smallest moments which in retrospect are not small at all.

Sitting on the roof

of my best friend's house

on a starry night

looking up above.

I noticed something different,

something deep in my mind

I noticed something switched,

something I could not define.

Every thought felt so uncertain,

I was tired but wide awake,

I felt all bent and crooked,

I was in quite the state.

My friend noticed I was different,

and normally so smug

he came and sat beside me

to give me the warmest hug.

He asked me what was wrong.

I told him I couldn't say.

He asked what he could do.

I told him to please just stay.

A good friend that he was,

of being bored not a sign

he sat with me for hours

and just didn't seem to mind.

So we sat up there for hours,

it was just what I did need.

We ended up there the entire night

until we fell asleep.

It's weird, I felt much better

after that one peaceful night.

So when someone tells me they feel bent and crooked,

I tell them they'll be alright.

Just go sit on a roof on a starry night

with a dearest friend.

It'll help clear that beautiful mind of yours,

you won't believe what it can mend.
