bakatachi’s alcove

Just as friend

There’s so many things I’d like to share with you

So many words

So many stories

Of the freedom of birds

Of the weirdness of cabbies

Only as a girl

There’s so much I want to confide in you

So much confusion

So much liveliness

Of  problems that were unmentioned

Of my joy and happiness

True as woman

There’s a lot I wish to ask you

A lot about Life

A lot about values

Of why sometimes we lack the drive

Of why one has conflicting views

What’s in being a woman, girl & friend?

What’s me if you’re not there?

This poem, for you it’s meant

And what follows is because I care

On the surface we’re just alike

As 16-year-olds would probably be

Happy we smile, angry we fight

but the truth beneath can be nasty

When all I say is "damn"

I mean to say "I’m sorry"

I’m not as funny as Hem

And I can’t rid you of your worries

Nevertheless I’d always be here

Should you think useless me can lend you a shoulder or a hand

Because in my thoughts you’ll always be dear

Just, and simply because, you’re my friend.
