For Real?

by: Kerry Cookro
To: Kayla Phillips

I hope you dont take this wrong
Im just speaking my mind
All the things we've done together
All curled up inside.
Ive never met a friend like you
You always speak your mind
But this time im gonna unwind
And tell you whats deep inside.
Ive had fun hanging out with you
All the times we shared
Laughing, arguing about whose fatter.
Just hanging out and being there.
But i want to ask you a question
And i hope youll tell me the truth.
What would you do if your best friend wasnt really your best friend?
Would you cry?
Cuz all the time she just felt sorry for you?
Would you unwind to the place where she called you names?
Sometimes i feel this way
Cuz you say you care
But yet your never there
Your always with your 'other friends' who say they care
But sometimes i wonder
Are they even there?
To be your friend?
Or are they just sorry?

We get along fine
We have like the same mind
but please tell me the truth
Are you lying?
Am i really your friend?
Or do you feel sorry
Cuz my hearts been bend?
I dont know what the thing is
Sometimes i think its your friends
Holding you back from me because im not 'cool' enough
And sometimes i think its me
'Have i been cruel?'
And so i ask
Am i your friend
For Real?

Stanza's would be good for it. its flow is pretty good, but maybe you should read it out loud to yourself and see where it needs to be reworded slightly.

Wow! The emotion in this poem seems to jump off the screen.

I have to agree with everyone else on the stanzas thing, it would make this poem easier to read, but I also think that this poem is so good stanzas do not matter that much.

Although, I do think that in some parts it flowed kind of stiff, what I would do is take the time to read it out loud to yourself, see if you find anything that needs changing.

Great poem though, I love the last question at the very end.
Can’t wait to see more from you!
