A Friend
I was the girl that sat around and listened to everyone, who laughed when others
did, who talked only when spoken to, I sat in the corner and wrote about my
felling to scare to say anything. I was the girl who cried herself to sleep at night
hoping everything would be alright.
I kept up my guard and didn’t let anyone in
I thought I could do this all on my own or maybe it was because I was to scared
to let people in and because I was hurt to many times before, my pain is
something that I don’t want to deal with again I didn’t want to be hurt again I don’t
want to be left alone, but for some reason I let you into my life and trusted you
and told you things I thought I would never talk about again you showed me that
you wanted to know about me and that you cared. I hope I wasn’t to open.
Sometimes my life scares people sometimes it even scares me. But you didn’t
judge you sat there with an open heart and teary eyes, you felt the pain that I felt
and you became my friend. I know that I can come to you when the darkness
closes in and I don’t see the light or when I am falling and know that you will be
there to grab my hand and help me pull myself back up thanks for being my friend
