Down and out, nothing is right,

The worst day ever, mad at everything in sight.

The cruel things they do and mean things they say,

I hide my feelings and pretend I’m okay.

 

Some girls are just callous and spiteful and mean,

School can be tortuous, an uncomfortable scene.

Their words are like daggers, cutting my soul,

It makes my heart ache, as if I’m not whole.

 

I press-on through the day, watching the clock,

Finally I can leave, it’s 3 o’clock.

I sprint to the door and leave in haste,

Not a moment too soon or a minute to waste.

 

I walk home from school in need of fresh air,

My thoughts are racing, but I try not to care.

I sit in my room, dwelling in my sorrow,

In hopes a better day will come tomorrow.

 

As my door opens, I prepare for a fight,

But it’s my best friend with a smile so bright.

She approaches with plenty of chocolate and love,

A surprise from my angel sent from Heaven above.

 

My ray of sunshine, she brightens my mood,

The weight of the world is all but removed.

We laugh and laugh with tears in our eyes,

It makes our stomachs ache as we debunk the girls’ lies.

 

Although there’s no need and I feel whole again,

I ask her to stay since it’s already ten.

She complies joyfully as we cherish our time,

I’m her best friend, and she is mine.  

 

She’s a true friend who picking up when I’m down,

There’s so much love when she is around.

It warms my heart to know that on her I can depend,

My rock. My sunshine. My one true friend.
