My Friend Sally Poem by LeeAnn Azzopardi

My Friend Sally

Rating: 5.0


She's so lovely in the pictures of old
But that was then,
After the accident, she became a recluse
Never going out without a mask
Or scarf covering the scars
If she had to go somewhere
She told me that she felt so hideous
That she wondered why she had lived
I wanted to remove the mask she was wearing
For I had to see for myself
I told her to close her eyes
And then, I took it off
I saw the scars, but they didn't scare me
She was in tears
And before she asked why
I smiled and told her she was beautiful
And as we embraced, she said
I love you too, my friend

An accident that leaves her with a scar. ‘She' becomes a recluse daring not to show her face with scar to the world. But she only needs to tell her "I love you" and "You are beautiful ", so that she comes out of her cocoon. (Continue)

Part 2. But in today's world, you have no one to do that. We have no time for others, even our closest friends.
