My name is Kareana Branch. My moniker is Kari Blu. I have been drawing, painting coloring and creating since before i could remember. Here is a poem wrote to describe how i feel about my first love....
My Best Friend.... The day that we met I wasn't aware of what our relationship would be To be honest, I don't remember the actual day I met my best friend It seems more that we have known each other for quite a while, Something like forever I know my earliest memories include my best friend So maybe we met before my mind had the ability to store memories, I'm not sure The only thing I’m certain of Is that my best friend and I are now inseparable Over the span of my short, but climactic life, One thing has always been sure If no one else was there for me, My best friend always was Neither of us was or is perfect We both had let each other down in various ways I had neglected my best friend Not acknowledged my best friend I allowed the negative words of others to doubt my love and devotion for my best friend Cast my best friend away when that doubt grew into disdain and eventually severed our relationship Vowing that they would soon find a friend better than me Someone more worthy for them to call best friend My best friend had let me down too at some point At a time when I thought our relationship would beat the odds That we would rise together and become successful together My best friend didn't do what I thought they had promised What I thought I was owed for being loyal We never became successful in the ways we thought we would It was a devastating blow to our once unbreakable bond What saved us was my best friend never giving up on me When I recently found myself at my lowest Struggling with mental battles and self destruction, I found my best friend again. Sitting in the same spot I left them Seemingly waiting patiently on my return Now looking back at all of the ups and downs of our relationship, I realize why our friendship is so solid now I have a deeper respect, A greater love And a better understanding of my best friend I now know our purpose together I now know why I need my best friend My best friend has ALWAYS been there From the first time I picked up a pencil My first crayon My first paintbrush To the time I was selected to have my first art work displayed in an art museum as a high school student To always being chosen to be in charge of the artistic direction of any group or art class I had found myself in To marrying a man who has a passion and talent for art just like me To again finding myself with artwork displayed in an art museum some 18 years after my first time Everything has come full circle My best friend and I have stood the test of time My best friend has had my back We are officially inseparable I am my best friend And my best friend is me My first love My superpower My self expression My therapy My freedom My best friend MY ART. |
