To My Oldest Friend

She hides behind ambition
She hides behind her fire
She hides behind amicable nature
Afraid of showing her true desire

She lives in a world of the future
Not daring to look back
She lives in a world of disillusionment
Afraid to examine what she lacks

She looks at her life with indifference
There’s nothing she can change
She looks at her life with possibilities
Limitless in range

Afraid of showing her true desire
Afraid to examine what she lacks
Afraid to face an unknown day
No. She is not afraid.

She is strength and she is resilience
She is hope and she is love
She is reason and she is passion
She is a life that’s come undone
