See-Through

Be my friend, back me up
help to overflow my cup.
Be with me in good and bad,
share the happy and the sad

When you see me give a smile.
Sit with me and stay a while.
When you need me send a text,
phone me when you feel perplexed

Never leave me on the shelf.
Don’t be me, just be yourself.
It’s fine for us to disagree,
so you be you and I’ll be me

Lay it on the line, coated in kindness.
Give it to me straight without being mindless.
The truth won’t hurt so I want to hear it.
Whatever you think I shouldn’t have to fear it.
Be like glass, clear with no shimmer,
I’ve heard enough from broken mirrors
