A Guide to Friendship in Life and on Mars

Her scraggly brown hair hangs limply on her back
Her blue eyes outlined in dark makeup,
A nervous smile hesitating on the edge of her lip,
She used to grin
A flat out, completely unselfconscious, teeth-showing, life-loving grin.
I haven't seen it in years,
only in pictures, moments, frozen in a segments of time.
Always unsure of herself—
She is no super hero.
But she was always there.

Friends are there, through thick and thin...even though they have issues of their own. That's what being a friend really means: being there for each other, to hold out a hand.
