Best Friend

In solitude I find my solace, a bond unseen,

Ten verses paint a tale of a friend, a dream.

No best friend's laughter echoes in the breeze,

Yet within myself and mind, a friendship gleams.

Secrets whispered to the depths of thought,

A confidant, a guardian, battles fought.

My mind, a fortress where trust finds its home,

In its embrace, I am never truly alone.

People drift, their motives hidden in disguise,

Selfish pursuits, tears that never truly dry.

A heart worn thin by broken trust and pain,

A tale of disappointment, repeated again.

But still, I yearn for that kindred soul to share,

Gossamer dreams, to travel, to dare.

Alas, reality falls short, a friend yet to be,

Yet in my own company, I learn to see.

A journey solo, to be a better me,

A strength within, a light that's meant to be.

No need for company, no yearning for embrace,

I'll forge a path alone, find my own grace.

So here I stand, a solitary friend, in truth,

Writing my own tale, painting skies with verve.

With every step, I'll walk this winding road,

A best friend in myself, my spirit's trove.
