it loves you
like a cat
it spits at your trifles
yet uplifts your victories
makes you fight better
encourages you to write better
bolsters you from the sidelines, no matter how hard you've been beaten
even though it gives its fair share of the punches.
always loves you when you're in need
always offers a helping hand when you're struggling
but never hesitates to stand holdin a hammer 'round your coffin.
She shoves you into the abyss as readily as she offers a hand out,
she'll always help you get where it is you want to go.
She doesn't offer you any advice, though she's centuries of knowledge.
No, she doesn't hold a map and doesn't give you her opinion. Wherever it is you're trying to get, she puts her hand on your knee and pushes the pedal further to the floor.
she tells you not what door you're opening.
She only passes you the key, and puts her hand gently on yours as you turn it.
