My Painful Friend

By Marc TomassiPublished 7 years ago 1 min read

Although friends can hurt and betray

Mine always comes back my way

May hurt me but never abandoned

Comes and goes I prefer that way

Hate the presence of my friend

But appreciate the friendship and what it creates

Pushing me and my greatest motivator whether wanted by me or not

this friend loves me in a strange way

I'd prefer none of it yet get so much

I must find appreciation n trust

In the driving force behind us

Love it or not lifetime friend I know I have

I know I must embrace

For this friendship I can always trust

My friend brings the best out of me

Hate the friendship for years I fought

Now embrace the Pushes of pain appreciative in the end for what it brought

So Thankful for my friend name pain for pain we can give thanks

for it

Providing us life and fulfillments
