Slow on the uptake, a distortion

Happiness is sometimes only a small portion

In need of reassurance, perhaps a touch of hope

Maybe help is necessary, or just a way to cope

And I see you, my dear friend

You stayed and you waited

Can you see now how my heart has inflated?

For I know now that I am supported

Where my mind was once afraid and perhaps contorted

I found some sustenance where I thought I’d never find it

And now at last, my hesitation can finally rest

Because you’re my everything, at its very best

This is a poem I wrote for a school project where the prompt was “loyalty”.
