Pillow Poem by Josephine Chifundo Likoya

So tired
In my bedroom i sleep
Visiting different places in my dreams
Forgetting about my close friend
A friend that holds my head
A friend that doesn't complain

Wake up in the morning
Go out
Come back angry and bored
Usual friend is always there
Wiping my tears away
Giving me comfort to sleep

Happy and having fun
Taking long hours out
In the darkest night
A friend still awaits
A friend so patient and calm
Ooh my pillow
I wish you were a person!
