Cheerleader

Real friendship

I don't want to be your cheerleader if you'll turn away my shoulder when your eyes lose water.
I don't want to fly with you if rumour must be the messenger when you are dry.

I want to be there when you fall,I want to be there when you are sore ;when the ducks seem tall and Congo fufu looks small.

I want to be the alternative choice:would you rise up with me or would you stay at fall?

For I will not go down with you and I won't stall till dawn.
So are you coming with me,or what?

Author's Note

Congo fufu refers to a pounded cassava meal that is usually served in very large mounds.
