ELI

You don’t have to look like Tyra, or try to be the next top model. You don’t need a body like Rihanna, curves like Nicki, booty like Beyonce, You’re special how you are. You don’t have to cover your face in Cover girl number eight. You don’t need to prove anything to the girls that show hate. Truth is those girls that show hate only do so because they ain’t; You. You don’t have to. You don’t have to. Come out of pocket too often, Baby I got you. You don’t have to, Purchase things that falsify the body’s’ image, You don’t need to buy things that enhance your body’s’ image. You possess the rarest beauty one man has ever witnessed. What they don’t see in the pictures is Unique to you. And through my eyes, girl, you’re most beautiful…

Me and the big homie don’t even talk no more. I call and text his phone, he don’t pick up no more. Now, I know a lot has changed and we’re all grown up, But, who would’ve thought I’d see the day we’d be so split up? I can feel the distance… And I can feel the tension. Passive aggression when we do meet, We should be chilling more often. Like back in the old days, before we got paid, He would’ve carried me to my coffin. If that was needed. But now, in struggling times we’ve both grown jaded. Cold world. Man, I really hate it. Both let money crash the shore of our friendship, Now I watch the waves break that away... I be buggin’. I still got love for him, of course, that’s my brother. Deep down, I pray maybe one day we’ll reunite with each other. And come together, recognizing that the money is the devil. Sad it got involved, Funny how it makes your close friends seem so far. Away.

I hope that, Good friends we remain. I don't wanna see you go through any pain, That I can't help with. I'm tryna be less selfish, And be more selfless. You know my heart. You knew me since fifth grade, where do I start? All the accolades can't even compare, To How it feels just having you here. And not to diss any of my newest friends, but your my closest one, my oldest one, if anybody got a problem, I gotta show em one. And that's cool. Cause I know you'd do the same thing.  you taught me "be a man, don't let these people weaken you." And if I had a problem you would come often, on weekends too. You taught me it was beauty behind the madness before the weeknd knew. And for that, baby, know I'm always indebted, I gave you the debit but never the credit that you deserve. Best friend, I wanna  tell the whole world just who you are... But they gon know soon, it ain't a moment til you make it. That's what friendships ar...
