Friendship

Friendship is not the common interests
that brings you together,
But the love,
care,
honesty,
and
communication
that develops because of those interests.

Depression

Never smiling.
Or laughing.
Or joining in the fun.
He dwells in the past,
in the negative.
He dwells, but does not
try to change.
Or help.

He lurks and sulks.
And hardly speaks.
He causes himself pain.
He cannot see the beauty
in life,
or love,
himself,
or others.

Always alone.
Always somber.
Always occupied by thoughts, so dark.

He will not help
himself.
The one who should love
him most of all.

He is Depression.

My Protecter

And there she was
standing tall
and brave.
To take it all.
To save the day.

I need her now,
than ever before.
To take away
my pain.
To make me happy
to the core.

She's my strong protector.
My guardian angel.
My keeper of secrets.
She is true
to me.

Sincerity

She is kind
With a simple smile.
But a bright one, at that.

She'll tell you how
she truly feels.
No lies,
No hurt.

She will give her
honest opinion
Even to a stranger.
She'll never cover up
How she thinks.
But reveal it all.
Never holding back.
Never telling half.

She is Sincerity.

Tree

Magnificent.
Beautiful.
Unique.

You can not move,
but sway in place.
You can not talk,
but to your own.
But you can feel,
and see,
and love.

So, I ask,
Why are you
cut down
or burned
or poisoned?

Why, oh tree,
are you not loved?
Seen?
Felt?

You deserve the same,
oh Tree of mine.
So I shall love
and see,
and feel
Your bark
and branches high.
Your leaves
and your sweet fruit.

Giving.
Wonderful.
Peaceful.

The Game

It's time to play a game.
A game of smiles
and laughter.
One with tears
and pain
kept
hidden
away.

A game of...well,
fake.

To play,
you must laugh,
and wear a grin on your face.
Rule your emotions,
expressions,
mind.
For you, must be in
complete
control.

Here's a twist:
You have to make it seem fun.
Be an illusionist.
People must think
it is its opposite.
Natural.
That,
is what makes it
a game.

So, let us play
this game, of sorts.

Of strategy,
dishonesty,
and counterfeit fun.
But we won't stop there.
Hell, we've only begun.

to play with charisma,
with "joy",
with ease,
You'll wear a bright smile,
and twinkling eyes.
don't stop for a moment.
Yes, sport your disguise.

If you give up, it shows
you are weak.
And if you give up,
you are not very good.
Yes, because if you give up,
You lose.
Understood?

So, play the game!
Of ...what?
Happiness?

Not likely.
