I知 tired, I知 tired of being strong,
When everyone else needs me to be
I知 tired of holding back my dreams
So someone else can be free
I知 tired of putting on a brave face
And holding back my tears
I知 tired of picking up the pieces
Of someone else痴 fears
I知 tired of keeping up appearances
And walking in someone else痴 shade
I知 tired of going the extra mile
To help someone else get made
I知 tired of accepting the blame
For other peoples errors
I知 tired or being the one to pay
Hello? I have my own terrors
The kind that visit in the night
And hold my dreams at bay
The kind that whisper in my ear
Through out the sunlit day
I have my own fears,
And more than enough sadness of my own
Do I have to have everyone else痴 too
Why do I have to stand alone?
I知 here for all my friends
I知 here for the all the time
But sometimes I just wish
They could be there for mine.
Maybe I should go away
Far from the troubles and strife
Somewhere I can be alone
Far from the troubles of life
Maybe I think one day I値l do that
One day when I知 dead and buried
I値l finally find my peace of mind
When across the river of souls I知 ferried.
But till such time as that comes to pass
When you need me I値l be here
I値l be strong for you, if you need me to
And I'll soothe away all your fear
I値l cast away your all your doubts,
And I値l protect your battered soul
I'll restrain my fears and all my tears
Just so you can be whole
I won稚 begrudge you these acts of mine
I値l give them without reserve
All I ask is little in return
But no more than I deserve.

I think you definitely wrote well for that prompt...
to me this poem was a journey from being strong, to breaking down and losing hope, then finding it again.
By the way, your picture is gorgeous! You're a very pretty girl.
It sounds like you are the kind of friend everyone wants to have. Stay strong, but remember you have to take care of yourself!
Well done.
