Hopelessly sick
vomiting fear
mind springing wild
I wish you were here

Please know I love you
when life goes downhill
and no one can hear you
believe that I will

I&#039;ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. <br /> - Maya Angelou <br /> When i was little/I used to point a chubby finger toward the dark sky/And ask my father/why some stars moved and others didn&rsquo;t/He would laugh and explain that some were airplanes/I still wish on them today ~ Laugh-It-Out<br /> The feathers of a crow are black/The ink of my pen is blacker/The pain of my heart is blackest~ Mckay<br /> If love produced a blossom/I&rsquo;d take it in my palm/What a blessing, the bright color!/How soothing, such a balm!/I&rsquo;d keep a petal for my own/The rest, drop from my hands/For such a flower would multiply/And populate the lands~ thesilentraven<br /> And I began to rival legends/Long entombed before my birth./But for all my much envied fame/The lust for more would not abate./The plaques and prizes with my name/Will, like all things, disintegrate. ~ TheEpic95 now known as Helena_Noel

This is abosutely amazing... I'd be insanely happy if any of my friends wrote something so amazing for me..Your friend is really luckyy... and about the writing style, It's really interesting, kind of captures a person's attention and then holds it there...I loved reading :D

When life gives you lemons,<br /> Eat them.<br /> They do not taste that bad.<br /> <br /> Life is like autumn.<br /> Stop to crunch the pesky leaves.<br /> <br /> Love is... let me think...<br /> <br /> Don&#039;t judge a book by its cover.<br /> <br /> Poetry is a way to put words to things that are unexplainable.

I know it has been a few years since posting this, but I have to say I loved this. :) Short and sweet with a beautiful meaning.  Remember, getting older doesn't mean you should stop writing. Don't stop. You've got a lot of potential here. :)

When I wrote this I was really worried about a friend. She seemed depressed, she wasn't eating, there was a lot going on in her life and I didn't know what to do. Luckily that is behind us now, but at the time it was terrifying! Of course its nowhere near as extreme as your situation but I know watching your friends go through something bad is almost as painful as going through it yourself! Thanks for the comment:]

I love this. I can connect to this so well. I don't know what situation your friend is in, but my best friend in the world is in a really bad situation (abusive parents, changing foster homes, suicide attempts) and I think this really applies to her. Great job. Really beautiful and eloquent.
