I am alone
No one is with me
I sit here and cry
My pain is horrid
It isn’t physical
I can’t get up
I have no help
I hear voices all around
I hear footsteps coming towards me
I thought I saw someone who cared
All that I saw was a person
One who looked upon me with disgust
He walks around
Looking for something
He asks where is my friend
The one with such strength in himself
All I see is someone different with the same face
He looks around a final time
I still am alone
Even with him here
I’m alone
A friend is supposed to offer a hand
Help you when you are down
So through my tears
Where is my friend
The one who is supposed to help me
The one who offers a helping hand
The person looks and stares
His stare piercing me
He comes closer
I’m on the ground
He is next to me
This is what a friend does
He pulls his foot back
He crashes it forward
Hitting my stomach
Forcing me up
I look at him through teary eyes
He looks and says
Only true friend can force you up
I look and see I’m up
I realize I’m not alone
For a friend did what was needed
A coward kicks someone who is down
They do it to hurt them
A friend does it help them
Now ask yourself this
Would you do what is necessary
To save a friend
