A Friendly Reminder (2011) Poem by David Joel Rodriguez

Thank you all for nothing and breaking me once again
Thanks for letting me see the reason not to have friends
Best of all, thanks for helping me realize what I needed to see...
That is helping me find yet another undiscovered part of me...
I lost that certain part of me which I needed to get rid of
A part that held me back from goals that were never enough
And now that I have tasted these precious wasted goals
A twisted turn introduced me to a new and tender soul
A pleasant wreck, alone with a pen, paper and a bulb, stuck in my room
Collaborating a hidden mess of madness tending closer to my doom
