HUMAN

I use words 
As a shield
Does that
Make me
A warrior
I hide how 
I feel 
Does that 
Make me
A thief
I build 
Walls around 
My heart
Does that 
Make me
An architect 
I LIVE 
AND
I LOVE
Does that
Make me human?

FRIEND

Love has brought 
Me joy
Love has brought 
Me pain
Love has brought 
Me sunshine 
Love has brought 
Me rain.
Love has been 
A teacher 
Love has been 
A thief
Love has left
Me in sorrow 
Love has left
Me in grief.
Love has been
My beginning 
Love will be
My end
Love has been 
Many things
But love 
has NEVER been 
MY FRIEND!
