I Have Moved On

people always told me to stand up to you. everytime that i came close to doing 
so, i'd back away. scared. not wanting to hurt you...although you've hurt me more.  
everyone always asked me why im your friend. id tell them cuz i love her and shes my 
best friend. but the truth was....and i only realized that now...is that i didn't actually 
love you. i told people that about you just to cover up what i really felt. hatred. 
betrayal. lack of honesty, and jelousy. everyone always told me that you were jelouse 
of me, that if i hadn't come to this school with you, you would have been treated 
differently. i didn't want to believe it. i kept making myself believe that you were always 
like this towards people and not just me. hurting them. lying to them constantly. but it 
was different. you treated everyone fairly BUT me. it hurts to admit it but i can honestly 
say that im happier without you. do i sometimes look back at our friendship? yea...i do. 
but do i regret? no. i don't. standing up to you that one day made me  a stronger 
person. i still question why you chose her over me. we have known each other longer 
and shared a lot more......but i guess ill never know now will i? no i guess not. but i'd 
have to say thank you. for making me see who my true friends are, and how hard it is 
to find them.

this is a very nice poem i had a friend just like this, its hard to say something to them. my friend didn't really have anyone so i hung out with her but she treated me like crap, but the time does come when you can stand up for yourself. i really enjoyed your poem :)
