Understory 2022

MY FRIENDS
by Sara Rollins

Life is amazing, isn’t it?
We all try to live life to its fullest,
But we never fully can.

Something will always hold us back.
A regret,
A mistake,
An inner demon.

Oh, my favorite friends.
My very flawed friends.
How I love you all.

You tell me you’ve made mistakes.
You have regrets.
You’re haunted by your inner demons.

But I just want you all to know,
No matter what,
I will always have faith in you.

I will always believe you.
I will always love you.
Past, present, and future.

Until the end, my friends.
Until the end.
