The Hole in My Wall, the Hole in My Heart

A little bird whispered, soft yet clear, ?Truths I never wanted to hear. ?Echoes of laughter, sharp like knives, ?Behind my back, they carved their lies. Once we were twenty, a vibrant crew, ?Now I’m alone, the sky's gone blue.? Faces I trusted, hearts turned cold, ?Stories of betrayal, cruel and bold. After the grind of a long school day, ?I found the words wouldn’t go away.? My fists clenched tight, I couldn’t stall, ?Pain exploding, I punched the wall. A jagged hole, a symbol of rage,? Of friendships lost, a bitter stage. ?Where did I go wrong? What did I miss? ?I long for loyalty, not venom’s kiss. The search for true friends feels like a fight,? In shadows, I stumble, chasing the light. ?But deep in my chest, a fire still burns,? For a day when love and trust return. So I’ll mend the wall, and I’ll mend my heart, ?Each crack and scar, a brand-new start.? Though I stand alone in this chapter’s pain,? I’ll rise stronger, through loss and rain. One day, I’ll find a friendship that’s real,? A bond of respect, where wounds can heal.? Until then, I’ll carry this heavy toll,? But I’ll never let it break my soul.
