I grew up in a family where my parents had to work often and my older brother was cruel to me. We had no pets at the time so more than often, I was alone, making me antisocial. [bodytext] => My only friend was perfect.
He knew everything about me.
He always did what I wanted to do.
He was always with me.
But then came a day
My parents forced him to go.
They said I was too old
To have an imaginary friend.
They said I was too old
To have my only friend. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 222 [topic] => 48 [informant] => Rykor [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 13 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )
My Only Friend

My only friend was perfect.
He knew everything about me.
He always did what I wanted to do.
He was always with me.
But then came a day
My parents forced him to go.
They said I was too old
To have an imaginary friend.
They said I was too old
To have my only friend.

An extremely sad but equally beautiful post. I am sorry you had to endure that... but have faith.. I grew up with 2 brothers and six sisters and I am still considered anti-social..

Perhaps your parents were right, Rykor. Imaginary friends are a wonderful part of almost everyone's childhood. But soon enough it's time for "school" and other such "realities," leaving room for imagination of a more advanced level and necessity. Keep on imagining, my good friend; imagine good things and wondrous things...but keep your feet planted firmly in reality. Beautiful poem indeed. I read it over and over!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
