A Friend By Me Poem by Vidushi Khera

Devoured by friends, betrayed by own
Left in this unknown world all alone
The best of friends seemed so distant
Life reminded of hell every instant
I stood alone facing the world
Who thought of me as a worthless soul
Trying to please trying to prove my worth
I was praying to God for another birth
So I wouldn’t have to face the trauma
Of a fragile soul broken with drama
As the world pretends or maybe in real
Was never bothered as to how I feel
And stood against me and time just paced
And I almost died, but I saw your face
Giving me a love anew, a dream come true
Giving me what was given to few
Giving me a friend that would never leave
Giving me a joy that I could keep
And so I knew and a stood relieved
To face this world with a friend by me
