"Write a poem about standing up to an enemy, or an
obstacle in your life."


She and I were
good friends.  Confided
in, imbibed with, worked
together.  I noticed that
our phone calls were
becoming a one-sided 
weather report.  Forecast
was forever unfavorable.
It was wearing; I hardly 
managed to insert a sentence.
In time I realized that
she never asked about my
life.  Made a decision
to get rid of the weight
of depression; I ended
the friendship.

    Difficult choice, but sometimes necessary.
