    So I graduate college soon and this is a poem I just wrote about my friends. They have been by my side through everything. I know it's not that good, I'm not usually big on rhyming either, but just wanted to share. Any constructive feedback is also appreciated:icon_bigg

    Three years of struggles, triumphs and fun
    My time at college is nearly done
    Many hardships here I have faced
    Perhaps not handled with ease and grace

    I've struggled, I've cried, so many times I just wanted to hide
    This is to everyone who picked me up when I fell down
    The people who made me want to stick around
    You've listened to me rant, ramble and cry
    But never once did you leave my side
    There’s a reason I am still alive
    And it’s you

    You my friends
    You've been with me through my aches and pains
    You are the ones who kept me sane
    You made me laugh when I wanted to cry
    You made me smile when I wanted to die
    You've been with me every step of the way
    It’s because of you I’m here today

    Despite my troubles, my struggles, my tears
    You have made me realize, I have nothing to fear
    I am stronger now than I was before
    I have so much that I am grateful for
    As time goes on and we part ways
    I really hope our friendship stays
    You all mean more to me than words can say
    Please, let us meet up again one day?

    I love it. I agree with Radlesbian15. Your friends are lucky to have you as their friend. (*hug*)

    I don't have any criticism to offer though, but I'm not good at that anyway. :icon_sad:
