There were things I couldn’t comprehend
Sometimes I thought this was the end
I couldn’t go on without at least one friend
Then someone came in
As if they just dropped from above
They came to help me make it through
They came with peace and love
I was crying on imaginary shoulders
And walking on in pain
You brought me a million tissues
And an umbrella to guard the rain
You brought me faith
I never thought I could find
I never thought someone cared
Or that I came to any ones mind
Troublesome times are sometimes rough
But I was lucky
I came out tough
I had someone following me
Someone who gave me a light to follow
It was you who was there for me
Who guided me to water more shallow
Where I could swim freely
Without this kind of pain
I just wanted to thank you
For looking out for me
For looking inside of my soul
You found the secret key
The key to the door unlockable
For someone like me alone
I want to thank you
For bringing me to the surface
From water way to deep
And giving me a shoulder
That I needed when I weep
I want to thank you
For not labeling my soul
For looking into me
And seeing what is untold
I may look different
And seem different too
But I’m just the same as anyone
Just the same as you
I have problems people call issues
And no one to be there for me
And help me through each day
But I guess times can change
And not just for the bad
The times have changed for good this time
And the reason was you

Wow...this was great. The flow, the rhyming, and, most of all, what was in this poem. You had some great metaphors, in this stanza in particular.

I think those are metaphors...the descriptions, analogies, I'm bad at the poetic terms
But, whatever they are, they were great. That's truly an awesome friend you have there, and I hope that you'll only be parted by death. Awesome write, and good luck in my contest.
