Friends Poem by Laura Rodriguez

Friends, they bring such joy to your heart.
They know every little bit of you,
they know what you like,
what you hate,
what you love,
what you desire.
Friends are forever.
Friends are your only reason to live.
Friends are your life,
the only reason you get out of bed to go to school and see them. While your family stays behind,
lost in your forgotten memories.
Your family only pretends to know you;
they only pretend to know the pain in your heart
when a friend’s sunset ends.
Friends know the pain your heart goes through every day.
Family only thinks what they’re doing are what’s best for you,
while friends do what’s really best for you.
Your friends are your family.
Friends know all the pain: heart broken,
divorce, depression, death, break ups, problems.
Friends do nothing but help you go on with your life.
Friends are what matters the most.
Never leave your friends behind.
