BEST FRIEND

As a Libra I must say
I weigh things to and fro
Sometimes I'm my own best friend
Sometimes my worst foe

Sometimes I get in my way
Sometimes I stay out
There are days I have no clue
what it's all about

Sometimes I must ask for help
But I am too proud
There are times I just can't say
Anything out loud

That's when I rely on you
I know you can see
Through the windows of my soul
deep inside of me

Even when my eyes are closed
and my voice is dry
You show up – and I'm relieved
If you just say Hi

or you simply take my hand
Squeeze, then let it go
Some times it is just a look
You give me and I know

That I'm not alone in here
That you've got my back
If I've gone and dropped the ball
You pick up the slack

There's a quiz show on TV
They pick a life line
But I won that long a go
I know that you are mine

Sometimes I am my own best friend
And I get too full
Of myself... it makes me sick
I need you to pull

me out and change the view
help me see the light
like those times I just can't say
I was wrong... you're right

Sometimes I'm my enemy
Or worse – I pick on you
You have got this tricky way
To show me that won't do

You are there inside of me
though I might lose sight
And though it might not look that way
I always travel light

when I know that you are here,
inside, or close by
I move swiftly through my day
you're the reason why

I can be my own best friend
or my worst enemy
Any way that I show up
You are there for me.
