The Real
Lately it’s been hard to talk to you
Especially since I been down myself
But I don’t want to push you away
And I’m not really sure why I care
Maybe it’s because I see potential
Whatever it is I just want you to know
It’s ok to trip
You’re allowed to fall
But I won’t let you give up
As long as I consider you my friend
I won’t let go
At least until I say these words
Lately I been feeling like shit
Like I’m losing my touch
And I’m afraid to fade into the background
But your words are always a pick me up
I might not know you like I want to
Still your passion gives me strength
And that’s why I feel like I own you this
So before we part ways I just need you to know
It’s ok to trip
You’re allowed to fall
But I won’t let you give up
As long as I consider you my friend
I won’t let go
At least until I say these words
I never been a yes man
I don’t always say the right things
But I’ll be ok if you hate me
It’s not like I haven’t been there before
Just know I wouldn’t waste my time
If I didn’t want to see you get better
Feels like you’re digging up the bones of the past
Maybe you feel like that’s what you need to be now
And far be it for me to say that
That’s just what I feel like I do at times
Maybe we are similar in some ways
If you want to take out your aggression
Then by all means take it out on me
We don’t even need to talk anymore
I just would like to see you getting help
And leave the past buried in the ground
Especially since I been down myself
But I don’t want to push you away
And I’m not really sure why I care
Maybe it’s because I see potential
Whatever it is I just want you to know
It’s ok to trip
You’re allowed to fall
But I won’t let you give up
As long as I consider you my friend
I won’t let go
At least until I say these words
Lately I been feeling like shit
Like I’m losing my touch
And I’m afraid to fade into the background
But your words are always a pick me up
I might not know you like I want to
Still your passion gives me strength
And that’s why I feel like I own you this
So before we part ways I just need you to know
It’s ok to trip
You’re allowed to fall
But I won’t let you give up
As long as I consider you my friend
I won’t let go
At least until I say these words
I never been a yes man
I don’t always say the right things
But I’ll be ok if you hate me

This is really profound. I like the overall structure to this piece, it definitely drew me in. The last few lines add really good closure as well. I have respect for the emotional struggle you describe within this writing as well as respect for your ability to write it in such an artistic way. Thanks for sharing brotha

Wow, your writing really reminds me of the male protagonist of the story that led me to DU.
Wonderful, heartwarming write. Some ink here in DU break me; yours is a welcome balm. Thank you. :)
(Your girl's lucky!)
