The Groupie Of Love

Just an accepted member
of a friendship to remember.
Being part of something much greater
that feels good now and later.

To be able to share
and show that I care
while just being me
in a struggle to be free.

So special in the fact
that I don't have to show tact
because the others are like me
equal in our status of family.

What a wonderful feeling
that is so revealing
and gives so much healing
with others we are dealing.

For a common purpose we gather
to talk about whatever
that gives us so much hope
so that we don't have to mope.

No holier than thou
giving comfort now
and being understood
more than just a piece of wood.

The daily anticipation
of this participation
gives me so much peace
and puts my mind at ease.

To be able to let my guard down
with so many friends around
knowing that my trust is not betrayed
making me glad that I stayed.

To give and to take
with the friends that I make;
special to me and them;
a feeling of welcome.

It is like coming home
not feeling alone
so spiritual
is this ritual.

When I am there
my higher power is near
guiding us to a group conscience
with such a beautiful ambiance.

No leader to follow
and not at all hollow.
Part of a collective hive
that allows us all to thrive.
