Friend In Deed Poem by Selena Luna

When a friend is in need
I'm a friend in deed
Whether it's the truth or rolling up weed
You can always count on me

I plant ideas in their minds like seeds
So they see it differently and not bleed
If I say it right I know through this I'll lead
There's just too many thoughts but I will proceed

I have to carry on and create my art
I know if I aim right I'll make the dart
I had it coming straight from the start
All I need to do is my part

Through fresh eyes I try to see
I can't help the old ways are creeping up on me
All we're doing is learning to be
And I'm just trying to believe

So I won't blame myself
It starts within Thyself
It's best to know yourself

If not tested
At night you'd sleep well rested
But without god teaching us our lessons
We wouldn't know when to accept true blessins

I guess it's all how you see it
Though I clean my glasses my vision is still not as clear
It's me holding on to what I hear
Their words burn straight through my ear
As I try to remember it's not always what it appears

Through them I reflect cause they're my mirrors
I always try to learn from each and everyone of my peers
I used to think it was just me but it turns out we all have the same fears
It's funny how we all change in just a few years
We'll see where we stand when the time nears
I'm taking off and I'm shifting gears
I'm going wherever my heart stears

At night I hope to close my eyes and sleep
If I stay awake I know I'll just go in more deep
My mind is always looking for more ideas to feed
I pray the good lord knows my soul is his to keep
And no matter what I'm doing it's always him I'll seek
The words are coming in deeper than a creek

I'm gathering all my strength for the moments when I'm weak
In time I'll learn the rhythm of this beat
It's best to move onward and never repeat
What I need is to stand on my own two feet
One goes crazy in their mind with all this constant heat
It's never coincidence when we first meet
Like the struggles we try and defeat

Without suffering we wouldn't know when to reach
Without experience we wouldn't know how to teach

Self reliance may be why I'm always defiant
It's always been me on my own
And no matter what road I choose I know I'm going home
