No Friends today

August 13, 2026

No friends today. Sitting alone in a room. You think you're safe but there is no such place. So just in case I stay in one place, in my room away from you. You think it's funny but not in my tummy. It hurts to be me can't you all see? I can see me but can't help. Who's here to protect me? I will wait and see. Cover it up so you don't throw up. Always angry inside so I don't show up outside. My youth is gone, lost in a room away from you. No friends today
