True Friend

I sit here scared,
Goosebumps pulling at my hair,
I turn on the light,
But I realize that the darkness Is coming from within.

I wonder why I was put on this earth,
If life just wants to play games with me.

My parents don't care,
My family doesn't live near,
The only ones I can talk to,
Are the friends that care.

The darkness starts to fade,
As I find my true self,
And I realize,
That the truth was always within myself.
