Echoes of Fading Light

In the cheer chat, where joy should unite, A ten-year-old girl causes drama day and night She calls me a brat, a jerk, selfish and ugly too, But she's the one acting out, it's true. She says she wants to push me off a cliff, Her words so harsh, they make my spirit stiff. As I debate my life's worth, feeling so low, She tells me to end it, her cruelty on show. I cry for hours, feeling so torn, But then my bestie, she keeps me warm. She tells me to stay, to stand strong and tall, With her love and support, I won't fall. I'll rise above her hurtful game, And find my strength, reclaim my name. For with true friends by my side, I'll face the storm and turn the tide.

Great poem! Instead of narrative, the form should be either quatrain or rhyme :)
