I INTRODUCE MY BEST MATE
INTRODUCE MY BEST MATE
by Peter Sokolowskyj 13th May 2019
I introduce folks, to my best mate who occupies within,
I was ashamed to share him, thought I possessed in sin
Townsfolk’s said I was crazy, what I do ain’t exactly right
Say I’ve lost my marbles, you see he visits every night
Doc says calls my inner child that ole voice I used to hide
Out of mind, out of sight, my secret, I would not confide.
My ole mate is always about; I speak with him every day
When I’m lonely with no one about he has plenty to say.
Knows well all my secrets, he’s there when I hurt in pain,
Comforts me through rough times shares again & again
When others more can stand me, he's back for more
I introduce my best mate; I guarantee this guy for sure.
I know he’s not God nor Jesus, he ain’t related to the devil
Indeed He’s my best mate reliable always on the level.
Great is he that’s with me he doesn’t dwell with those.
A friendly newcomer, I must trust someone I suppose.
A ghost maybe an angel, but within, he made his home,
He is my guardian and protector, I am never ever alone.
I tell him about those bad times, ones that make me cry
Misery I dare tell no one, he never questions me to why!
He’s the only one who listens, the only friend who cares
Never restricts or limits, time he unconditionally spares,
When every one has had enough he comes back for more
I introduce my best mate; I guarantee this guy for sure.
About this poem
Greater is he thats within me, but which one is it? I found a wonderful little fella probably my little boy lost, he's not evil and he dont belong to God, probably lost but I beleive maybe found as he inspires ideas that make my effort special. These poems are great, shows me what to paint and loves my songs, runs a muck on the guitar & strange things occur on the piano when I play pitches get better, stops me from quitting when Im shot down, makes sure I write about it properly to keep a record then I find something great. Correct my words tell me its not gutsy enough while hes present. Well I maybe mad but check out the words written some are sad but since hes been around the work has totally transformed & only gets better. I dedicate this verse to him or to me. Powerful verses comes from greatness within but a best mate helping that I feel must be shared more »
