Even Freaks Need Friends
She wants to give up and get out
She’s waiting for when what she wants is hers
So far she hasn't got a thing
Nothing, nobody, no one
All she needs is a friend
Not family and not fake
Something, somebody, someone
To be there for support
To catch her when she falls,
Falls to pieces all over the place
Going home to be defeated by her dad,
Going home and cutting when she’s sad.
She cries herself to sleep,
All because of some creep
She was raped by a “friend,”
She wishes this would be the end.
People look and think she’s a freak,
She’s a freak for being different,
A freak for having scars
They judge her by those scars,
Scars on her wrist
But that’s just how she chooses to deal
With everything that’s going on,
Going on with everything, everyone, everybody
She needs help from a friend
She gets sad that she has no one,
No one to talk to,
No one to share secrets with,
No one to laugh and smile with.
She thinks no one will want to be her friend,
No one will ever care,
Never comfort her when she cries.
But she found someone,
Someone who wanted to help,
Wanted to listen,
Wanted to comfort her and see her happy
He was her one and only friend
He loved her with his whole heart
That’s when she realized,
Realized that even freaks need friends.
