So no-one told you life was gonna be this way
No one told you life is rough, full of bumps and twists and we humans rely on each other, we rely
on our social skills and our ability to bond and form relationships
No one told you you needed friends
Friends, comrades, acquaintances, pals
However, you choose to phrase it friends are the shining beacon of my life
The light at the end of the tunnel, the jewel among the degraded debris
Friends are like 4 leaved clovers: hard to find but lucky to have, special, unique
Sure sometimes they'll push your buttons, get under your skin, wind you up
But at the end of the day, they've always got your back
My friends are everything to me
My shoulder to cry on, my anchor in the sea, my glimmer of hope when all seems lost
My rock, my world
My love for them is overflowing, everlasting
Requited or unrequited
Of course, they've got flaws, we all do, we all mess up
But sometimes it's good to make mistakes because you get a chance to reflect on them and
with growth and patience, you'll learn to become the best version of yourself
So don't be afraid to put yourself out there, let people in, build connections
Don't shut your friends out, don't toy with something which possesses more value and beauty
than you realise because if you fight fire with fire, you'll only get burned
My friends are my fireflies
My loyal allies
My faithful guides
And the light of my life
