SLOW DOWN AND MY 1ST ATTEMPT AT A POEM

So once again im thinking about life in general and the biggest question is why are people are in a hurry to get from point A to point B don't they know it would be nice to stop and smell the flowers or even stop and say hello to a fellow neighbor that you haven;t talked to in months becuase you get in a hurry to get to where you have to go and you see them doing 80 MPH on the interstate why not for once take the backroads and enjoy the time you have on mother earth becuase it isn;t going to last forever take the time and listen to a friends problems they will thank you for it and probably tell u that it meant more to them that you were there to listen then anything in the world cause we are need a friend who listens and if they make fun of u or even judge u they aren't your friend anyway a friend is someone who won't judge u for the way u are

And Now my 1st attempt at a poem

Im Sitting in the dark waiting for you to come to me
you are not home but not here just yet
are you on the way or running away from me
you said you would be my friend til the end
did i scare you or did u scare urself
you don't answer my text or even my calls
are you drving here or far away
it's dark where im at are you the light that shines
im scared and cold where i lay memories flood past my brain
you said you would be here if i ever needed you but u aren't here just yet
i hear faint footseps but whose are they are they yours or are they a strangers
someone knocks on the door i stumble to the door open it and find you on the other side i ask where am i and you say with a friend that you needed i say thank you for being here i wasn't sure you would be here and you say im always here for you now im all warm and happy knowing that you are here right beside me wherever i am

so to the ones that read these tell me what u think of the poem i can take it it was just a 1st attempt anyway and it just came to me so be kind to one another
