A Friend Who Sees

A poem about friendship.

(I have been blessed to have females in my life that have really been there for me and who remind me who I am on the rough days.)

She stands in silence, doubting her worth,

Haunted by scars and the weight of her hurt.

Afraid the world will see only her pain,

A past she believes still carries her chain.

Then she meets you, and the shadows take flight,

You cheer on her victories, protect her bright light.

You honor her story, love her as she is,

And show her what true, healing community is.
