I Try

I try to be your friend. It wont work. I try to look at you and smile. You just glare at me. I try to think of you as my best friend. You hate me. I try walk next to you, you push me away. I try to see you in the way you are, you take my eyes away. I try to ignore you, you make that impossible. I try to avoid you, you push my purposely. I try not to let words hurt me, you just make yours fiercer. I try to stop your words, but they hit me like a slap in the face. Have you ever heard the saying, sticks and stones may brake your bones, but words will never hurt you? Its all a lie. Words touch your heart, they touch your feelings, and they touch YOU.
