My best friend is lost Put away for doing wrong She shouldn't have done that Got herself in trouble Drugs lead her the wrong way I told her what they would do- Drugs are no good Did she listen? And now shes in jail No where to be seen She wanted me to come visit her She wanted me to write She wanted me to talk on the phone But it was too late She lost my confidence in her That only a mother could have I looked up to her for all my life And now all my faith in her is lost She lost the most important thing That she could ever have Her childs faith in her How could she do that? I wish I had the answers... Shes back at home now But still hasn't gained her childs faith She said she had time to think That now she knows whats important Its not drugs, Or her friends, Or money, Instead its her child Her child is now her number one priority Or so she says Do I believe that? After all the lies After all the lost faith Do I believe it? My best friend is lost... |

Forgiveness is hard, but holding on to anger (no matter how well deserved) takes its toll as well. Good luck to you. Your poem is really very moving. |

Faith is hard to regain, to be sure, but it can happen. Do keep expressing yourself! ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |
