FRIENDS are like balloons once you let them go, you can’t ever bring them back. That’s why I’ll tie you tight to my HEART, because you’re too precious to lose.

Whenever you need a friend. To always lend a helping hand, when you’re feeling lonely, when you’re feeling down. Just remember we can turn your world around.
...

Don't say you're not important,
It simply isn't true,
The fact that you were born,
Is proof, God has a plan for you.
...

...

You've been so distance,
since I told you, my true feelings.
I'm sorry for crying but
how would you feel
...

I look in the mirror and wonder, where did the time go? Last time I checked I saw a little girl and now, I see a young woman getting old with each second ticking by, and its going pretty quick.

Some people treat me like the little girl I once saw. They don't tell me stuff or trusting me. Or telling me I'm immuature because, I'm acting childish.
...

...

As tears run down her face,
she realized she's made a mistake.
An utter suffocation,
she's trying to hold on.
...

I help you through hard times, as you do I
But you really don't know how much I hide
Even though we are the best of friends
I really don't think you can understand
...

...

It's been a while since I decided to write about how
I feel in a poem.

So much is going on,
...

What's going on with the world lately? People are killing each other to stay alive or cause they don't like the other persons' point of view or colour.

Is there a moment in time in the human race, when we all stood up for each other?
...

The clock ticks, another minute passes, while another thought enters my mind. This is going to be hard, but I hate to admit it. But I finally know you're never coming back, why did God say 'NOW' to you? ! I will always remember some of the silly things you used to do. You used hide our teddies when we was little and you used blame Nan. You told the most awful jokes, as you can tell I got your gene there (even though you never wore a pair in your life.) Wisley is another place, I will always remember, especially when it was the autumn. When the acorns were on the floor, you would pick the acorns off the floor, you would throw them at us and blame the squirrels. You helped me with my spelling, you made me look in the dictionary (had to look that up.) I know you're gone but don't worry you will never ever be forgotten. Thank you for everything you have done, I will always love and miss you. Forever my hero, idol and now my star.
...

Now that he's gone,
You're going to need me more,
He was the one to put a smile on your face,
Yet his not being here has pricked a tear.
...

I am the outgoing one, the fun one, the witty one, the stubborn one, the thick-headed one, the thoughtful one, the kind one, the listener.
I am the party planner, the one who has drinks and sings karaoke, the one who is the cause of most laughter, the first to show up and last to leave.
I am the dreamer, the adventurist, the one who pushes the limits. The sporty one, the competitive one, the aggressive one, the strong willed one.
I am the one who cares more about others, the one who smiles at strangers on the street. The one who would give an elderly person their seat on a bench. The one who loves to eat candy and drink water. The one who tries to eat food but is still too thin.

It's 2022, I thought the 2020s was going to be amazing decade but all it has done has hurt, pain, death and misery.

Coronavirus was the start of the decade.
...

Lockdown of 2020 (don't ask which one - England had so many.) Obviously I had time to think, on things I didn't know I could think about.
When you're stuck in the same 4 cornered wall & only out for exercise.
Your brain goes into crazy mode, listen coming from someone who has mental health, the world even more crazy than you.
I've always appreciated the small businesses, NHS, emergency services, key workers etc.. But why did it take for global pandemic for the country to appreciate them.
...

I'm in a dark room & I can't see the light. I have a torch, but the batteries are dead, & the new ones are somewhere in the dark.

Where are them damn batteries?
