Poem

by Jennifer Johnson (author's profile)

Transcription

Everyone in life needs unchangeable friends. I learned in life you have to be a friend to self first in order to be a friend to someone else. I've also learned you have got to love self before you can love someone else. I am interested in unchangeable friendships.

POEM

I have wings that should
Allow me to glide like the
Wind
But my soul's too heavy with all
The turmoil within
So many people and things
All around
I'm trapped by confusion and
Can't leave the ground
How I long to be in the sky
Headed to my destiny
But I'm held captive by
The pain + hurt inside me
I don't know how to let
All of this go and be
Free
Can I get a helping hand to
Help up lift me.
