Poem: Words From A Friend

Hope and inspiration
are like fuel for the fire
the words of a friend
free me from my mire

My darkness and sadness
are swept away
like coal from a vent
for air, to make way

For my fire to breathe
to rage and to grow
within my mind
a warm safe glow

Energy spent
to live and to thrive
to race towards success
to not lose my drive

It isn’t much
but it means a whole lot
supportive words
not harder I’ve fought

For what I believe
and what I love to do
thank you my friend
I’ll see this through.
