Choices For my friend John
You need not complicate your thoughts
With such dark one sided views
If you continue in this direction
You've let them get the best of you
They were insecure and scared
You were strong and quite too nice
They pounced on you
Like cats prey on mice
Not knowing in the end
They've made you stronger
Harder to bend
Don't let them keep you any longer
These thoughts have kept you at bay
Way too long my friend
You must leave them behind now
While you still can
Begin your life today
Not where you left off
When you were young
Only from where you've
Lived and learned and truly begun

If I had only listen to you long ago, but we all must make are own decisions in our own do time.... Sorry I never critiqued this poem before now... Thank you for the compliment, but I am afraid that you're mistaken. It is I who am gifted to have a friend like you...
Love,
John
