You Know Who You Are

Before I post this poem, I have to tell the tale behind it. I wrote it in high school when my best friend Mia was upset. She felt that her other friends never listened to her or understood her feelings. I gave this an anonymous title so that if any of them got a hold of it they wouldn't know it was about them for her: so that's why it has such a dumb name. I got an A on it when I submitted it for a creative writing project in college, though.
So, here it is....


The very best friend I ever had
It burns my heart to see you sad

If I could, I would cry your tears
I'd take away your sorrows, I'd steal your fears

Your life seems to leave you drained
Your hopes seem to leave you pained

Feelings are unfair
Why do you bother to care

But I will care for you, I always will
And if the whole world hates you, I would love you still

I'll never turn my back, never run away
My ears will always listen to what you have to say

And if you ever need me, I won't be far from you
I'll always be standing with you, in everything you do
