All I Wanted

For years I have always cried myself to sleep, But that started after those bullies' words Began to creep into my mind, My optimism and happiness had become blind. Making me think that I was always alone. I seen how I was bratty and seemed to be happy, But inside, my inner sadness resides. The tears that I cried were All about me wanting or needing Someone to be by my side. Every night I wished for a less lonelier life. Nobody could come over or sleep over sometimes And I would be doing nothing Except for thinking about my life's meaning. A close friend was all I've been asking for: Someone who would talk to me everyday, Even when the sky's grey. Someone who would listen to me carefully And comfort me later on in the day. All I wanted was a true friend.
