no mentors


today I realized I have many friends no mentor

I have an elder sister who slows me down when I'm going 

too fast

a best friend who showed me how hard 

work 

will get you where you want to be

a best friend who taps and shoves when I go 

too slow

a little sister who I see looking up when I look down

there are so many mentors around me 

I don't know who to write about

the word mentor isn't enough for me 

my friends are everything to me 

yesterday I realized I have the world on my shoulders

and today I see my friends putting pillars up for me 

forever blessed.
