True Friends Poem by Robin Evan

Why do we always care so much
when something hurts a friend
I get angry, mad then sad
maybe its how I help them mend

I cry with them at sad movies
and laugh at their silly jokes
I jump when I'm frightened
and scream when someone pokes

I don't want to be indiffernt
like some who are stoic and bland
you try to get a response from them
its like they tell you, 'talk to my hand'

Don't hide feelings from them
away from the bitter cold
I say let your emotions out
let them be free and be bold

Let your friends know how you feel
it's better to be honest and true
and these friends that stay with you
are your true friends, and there are too few
