OLD FRIENDS
Although now,
I wish I could,
but probably never forget the day we met.
All the times we had.
How good I felt,
you had given me a rush.
We quickly became friends.
For the first time,
I had motivation and drive.
Felt,
I was alive.
I didn't want,
nor could I sleep.
I was no longer depressed,
or sad.
Gave me a reason to smile.
Found and felt like,
I had,
a purpose to my life.
Everywhere I went,
even though roadblocks.
You were right by my side.
Felt invincible,
no cares or worries.
I was confident,
the world was mine.
From burnt out,
broken pipies,
to hidden straws.
I knew it all.
At first ,
it help my anxiety.
I was relaxed and stress free.
Now,
just the opposite,
but you feel much worse.
I wish,
we'd never met.
I wish I could forget,
all the times we had.
Wish we weren't old friends.
