My Flawed Friend

When trouble finds the one it’s looking for,

When despair is something that must be suppressed;

When you swallow the key to your own front door,

When your family show turns burlesque.


When a pain in your ass moves to your head,

And a decision made leaves you looking back;

When that sinking feeling moves to the surface,

Exposing the strength and the drive you lack.


The time has come for a serious change,

A serious move from the rocks to a plain.

The time has come for a simple plan,

The hardest fact to face is the one at hand.


So ante up because the cards are down,

And use the hurt to defeat the frown,

And the sinking may surface but I won't let you drown,

Your success is hidden beneath your flaws renown.


- Words for a misguided friend. By Daris Smith.
