Friendship Circle
friends have saved me
from a circle of ruin
from the bullshit
that could easily consume me
together we have built a craft
and it has set me free
friends have saved me
from a circle of ruin
from the seaside
that I love yet haunts me
from the others
that could not let me be
friends have saved me
from a circle of ruin
and they have taught me
the value of what is around
and what sits inside
friends have shown me
that even when I have tried
all I have to do is value me
and what is inside
