A friend

by Patrick Catanzariti

Someone please,
My minds unclear,
I need a friend,
Someone to hear…

My worries,
And uncertainty,
This foggy mess,
So hard to see…

Each option,
What my choices are,
What can I do?
Feels like so far…

I’ve tried,
Given it my all,
The best I can,
Worried I’ll fall…

So quickly,
Just out of the blue,
No warning signs,
Not even a clue…

Of why, or how,
In such a bind.
What can I do,
I just can’t find…

The right selection,
Nothing to choose,
Want to do right,
Worried I’ll lose…

The things I hold,
So dear, so close,
Like sanity, self control,
One thing I’m needing most…

Is this friend,
Someone who’ll listen through,
Hear my thoughts,
Know what to do…

About it all,
A clearer stream,
Of untainted thought,
Filtering, finding a gleam…

Of hope,
The answers to my distress,
A new perspective on it all,
Won’t need to guess…

What I should do,
If my thoughts are right,
Just need some help,
A clear insight…

Into this mess,
But they’re not there,
Wish they were,
No one to share…

My worries,
Fears all still inside,
Nobody to hear,
This storm inside my mind.

A poem I wrote about those times when you feel like you really need a friend to give you that clear perspective you just can't find on your own... But nobody's around.
