Friends

Two children laughing with a snake draped over girl's shoulders on school playground

We all know someone who drives us absolutely crazy. They steal our things, embarrass us at the worst moments, and somehow never seem to learn. But imagine life without them for a second; it wouldn’t feel quite the same.

As you read this poem, there’s a good chance one face will keep popping into your mind.

Do they make you regret every decision you take?
Do they poke their nose in every choice you make?

Do they annoy you till no end?
Well, those are the precious qualities of a friend.


Do you regret making them feel nice?
Do you speak without thinking twice?

Do they behave like they own no brain cell?
Do they guess everything before you even tell?

Do they have the creepy ability to read your mind?
Are they the most nonsensical beings in humankind?

Those types of people, for whom even rules do bend,
are (extremely, non-lovingly) called a friend.


Is their dictionary empty of words like borrow and lend?
Do they act like they are you, and not just a friend?

Do you always regret losing alertness for even a second?
Either you’re smacked, or your stuff is stolen before you can fend.


Do they never, ever make you feel nice?
Do they forget important things, despite being reminded thrice?

Do they feel their day is successful if you go back crying?
Do their practical jokes leave you almost dying?


Everyone has this creature in their life,
and do they strive for the title of most irritating?

  2. Dear Aabha, you are doing really great through your stories and poems. I admire your deep thinking at this age and it feels to me like you are at least 10+ years future older. I want to read all your work before I give you any feedback for improvement as I feel that I need to achieve that place yet😊. You probably don’t know me and I too haven’t seen you but I know you through your dad. Now I know you through your work. Great work and keep it up!! Bless you!!!

  3. Friend is not just a word, but a feeling and ir is hard to be defined in any blog, however, you summarized it beautifully in this poem. Thanks Aabha, for taking me back to all the past years : 2 schools, a college, and various companies. God bless you and keep writing such memory twisters.
