she said to me, look within to find your self
i found it silly, to spend time thus
for what would one find
in one so common
she said to me, trust your self not others
i scoffed at her, i thought them wise
it mattered most what they thought
what they said and did not say
those words once despised
are now to me, gospels of truth
those pearls of wisdom, then belittled
are now the truth that i hold dear.

Your poem highlights the pearls of wisdom gathered by you from the unmeaning words spoken by your friend long ago. Truly a lovely poem! Regards, Venkataramana
