Protection

Trying to protect

the people you love

the most

from those

that insist

on manipulation

How do you even

warn them

when that person

claims to be

their best friend

It is so clear

I can see what

he is playing at

but how can I keep you safe

without ruining

what you have in the friendship?

Samantha Quain

I am a 25 year old graduate from Rowan University with a degree in Journalism and Radio/TV/Film. I have always enjoyed writing and reading, sometimes a little too much! I love all things Disney, Broadway, and dramatic. Currently working as a recruiter but would eventually want to get into writing professionally.
