What I Need
Why bother with a token
goodnight?
Friendship is what I need,
so get it right!
Someone who really
understands...
Someone who really
gives a damn....
Someone who is there
when most in need.
Someone who hears
my desperate plead.
Someone to talk me
off the ledge.
To calm me down..
when I'm on edge.
Someone to listen..
Not to advise..
Someone to be there
to dry my eyes.
Someone to lean on
when all strength is gone.
Someone to give reasons
why I should carry on.
Someone who accepts
me as I am.
As someone who just
needs a friend.

K2M. Its refreshing to see you spit out an anger poem. Wriggle out those anxieties, frustrations and poisonous feelings. I suspect this poem does not touch the core of some of your anger. It's inquisitive, and thoughtful, yes. And you are asking the right questions. But there is more underneath this. Sometimes we need to raise hell. If you think you can handle it. But despite my own musings, this is good work. And you maintained the control through rhyming.

Hello my friend,
I am always interested in what
your comments will be when you
grace me with your presence Sir DPW.
You always leave me with something to think about and this time is no different. I appreciate you dropping by
and look forward to hearing from you again.

Dang, I can relate to this
It sucks when people treat you like that and act as if they can't be a true friend to you.
Well done Keith, keep up the good work

Ms Jackson,
The good thing about this place, the du, is there is always someone willing to listen and lend a hand. I appreciate
you and all the support that you give.
Only wish that this was an unknown experience for you. Thank you for the read and comments left, sweetheart.

You know what Keith, a lot of folks don't value real friendships these days because they don't know the true meaning. We have to be very careful who we call and consider our friends. This rant was potent! xo

Hello beautiful,
You are so right about people these days and their ideas on friendship.
Lots of people don't understand what a true friend is. They think that is someone that is always in agreement with them. Someone who always has their back. They cannot understand that having their back can sometimes mean disagreeing with them and pointing out why. Someone who will fight for you and against you for your own good. Someone who is willing to jeopardize the friendship if they feel it is what's best for you. I am rambling, so please excuse. Thank you honey for stopping by. I am sure you understand the value of true friendship,
PRICELESS

Re: Re. What I Need
Keith, your comment is the epitome of my definition of friend. It was as if you read my mind.
A true friend will stand in the midst of the storm with you, get tossed by heartbreak-winds with you, get hit by life's flying debris with you, and remain right by your side in the aftermath.
"They think that is someone that is always in agreement with them"<-- I love this point, it is so true! You won't win a friend of the year award by people who think friends are suppose to tell them what they want to hear, instead of telling them what the need to hear. Truth and honesty stings sometimes, but being honest wont necessarily get you many friends, but it sure as hell will separate the real ones. Real friends accept the harshness because they know you're coming from a good place. I'm rambling now...... sorry....xo

Dearest Taryn,
I know if you were able to we would be having that cup together. I am grateful for your genuine concern.
Anyone would be so lucky to have you as a friend my dear. As for that cup of chachi; by the time I got to running my mouth it would probably need to become something a little harder.
Thanks so much for the love and support that you always show my
dear friend.

Sissy,
I have missed hearing from you
my friend. I thought you would have known that you had inspired quite a few of my writes😜😜.
I hope that you possess such a friend yourself that you can confide in.
Someone who gives you reason to laugh. Someone who loves you as only a true friend can. Thank you for stopping by.. Hope to hear from you again.
