Friend of Foe – Written Tuesday 20th February 2024 (Aged 48)

Friend or Foe

who am i,
friend or foe
will my imaginary friend
every really let go
who am i,
an ego laid low
a steady ship
with portholes like truth holes –
just below
do i couch my feelings,
in a swift warm throw
does self esteem,
ever really know
who am i,
friend of foe
am i a nest full of hope,
one caught by a lucky crow
am i just a billow of smoke
that someone else doesn’t know
who am i,
friend of foe
did my friends really come back,
or did they never really go
close my eyes,
and let me see what i really know
who am i,
friend of foe
