Beautiful Friend

a simple poem i wrote about loving who YOU are and realizing it for the first time. because your best friend should always be yourself

 

Beautiful blue eyes...

pretty smile upon her face.

Committed to all she does...

Her movement, full of grace.

 

She always knows right from wrong...

she knows when to walk away.

She supports your choices...

helps you make it through the day.

 

She's always willing to help a friend...

whenever they are in need.

She's not afraid to ask for help...

She wants you succeed.

 

She's always there with a shoulder...

when you are feeling blue.

She'll do anything to make you laugh...

She's the best friend for you.

 

She loves to dance...

she loves to shop.

So full of compassion...

undying love will never stop.

 

I have searched high and low...

to find this beautiful friend.

Who always knows what to say...

when a heart needs to mend.

 

To my suprise...

she was here all along.

standing right there...

the connection so strong.

 

I looked in the mirror...

What did I see?

This beautiful friend...

has always been me.

Hey, don't worry about corny, we are poets after all, we are allowed. I think you have dropped "to" from the last line of the third stanza and misspelled surprise in the next to the last. There is really no need to worry over the grammar and punctuation, I think what you did with it works very well.

Have you thought about adding meter to it? It has a sort of natural one that would be easy to tweak.


Great job!

How true! If one can not love ones self then how can they love anyone else.

What is so sad is how long it takes so many to understand. Great work!
