The road is long

The battle is arduous

But despite the journey that lies ahead of us

We all need a real friend

Someone that cares

Wipes away tears

And covers our fears with laughter

We all need someone worthwhile to talk too

And for me

That person is

And has always been you

Love always, Esha

Real Ones

Real Ones  

I gotta give a shout-out to the real ones 

That still believe 

Despite the trauma that the world brings 

You still search for better things 

No longer clinging to the hopes of breaking their ceiling 

That had you reeling 

The injustice of a system that does not care about you 

Or your feelings  

Has failed to stop your climb 

You are a lion inside 

Devoid of the ignorance 

That makes a wise man blind 

Thanks for reading!

Sincerely, Esha
