A Friend
There was a friend,
a friend that helped everybody,
but herself
A friend that liked to draw
She drew pictures but nobody saw
She was very artistic
It wasn't ordinary drawing though
She liked to draw in the bathroom
Though she didn't use pen and paper
She always needed a bandage
We stood in our,
"Sacred Place."
She rolled up her sleeves and showed me her scars
She was embarrassed and looked at the floor
Then I pulled my pants down and whispered,
"I draw too'.'
