A True Friend


I wish things wouldn't be so rough

Everyday has been so tough

I used to lie

Now I just want to die

It could be worse

But everday I feel like a horse

They call me names and verbally hurt me

They physically hurt me

It's just not right the shame I hold

I'm not right I'm told

I wish things wouldn't be so rough

I love to write. Writing helps me to get my feelings out by letting me positively write out my madness, and sadness. Writing helps me feel better about everything, and sometimes I just write to be writing. I've been writing ever since I was old enough to hold a pencil, and can write a 50 page story easily!
