Sometimes
we need to expel, to divest,
Divulge.
Expunge.
For peace of mind.
Sometimes,
burdens carried drain us.
Sometimes,
it seems we would go mad;
except for friends.
Sounding
boards;
echoes -
partners/pals/part-takers;
allies.
Compatriots;
(alter-egos);
buds.
Cronies;
contacts -
links - heart to heart;
when we are very lucky,
soul to soul.
Friends
confirm.
They reaffirm.
They connect
us - life to life
A lifeline, beautiful and sure.
