My Best Friend...

January 7, 2010
By Anonymous

My best friend is
the most annoying person I know
Creative, kind, helpful, hilarious
only when she needs to be.
She is always there for me,
but only when it's convenient for her.
Smiling as she walks through the halls,
just to impress those certain people.
Helping me, and walking by my side
rarely. Her image is too important.
Of course, we share our clothes, our jokes, our shoes, our thoughts
and she only uses it all to uphold her precious reputation.
Just like your average best friends,
we are not.
She's always herself,
with me but she changes for the others.
and to herself she stays true
she says, but she changes for those who matter to her and to her I do not.
That is my best friend.

If I were you I'd promise to live life for all it's worth, take all you've been given and leave your mark upon this Earth. Trust your heart to show you everything you need...and if you were you, I'd fall in love with me. -unknown


fear not, for I am with you;


be not dismayed, for I am your God;

I will strengthen you, I will help you,


I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
