Life isn’t easy
It’s hard
And sometimes
The only way to survive
Is to reach for a friend

You take your friend 
Out of its case
And it guides your hand
Letting your pain and suffering
Flow freely out of you
Like the welling up
Ruby red lines

It stings only a little
With each stroke
But the suffering
Well it leaves

But its not long
Before it all comes back
All comes back
Crashing down on you

So I just take my friend
Out once more
To let it do its job
And make this  suffering
Leave once more
Even if it’s not for long
