A FRIEND
I have a friend unlike any other
she has a boyfriend of another color
my friend and her parents argue and fight
all she hears is "It's not right!"

I have a friend who thought she was in love
her boyfriend was all she would speak of
but to the side she was tossed
after her virginity was lost

I have a friend who is single after a year
she felt bored and monotnous when she looked in the mirror
"I need a change" she thought
so an older man was who she sought

I have a friend far from the norm
at her highschool she was forced to conform
she got frustrated and took her own life
not with a gun but a rusty old knife

I have a friend that was being abused
"I feel on the step" was an excuse she used
"she started it" he accuses
but she was the one left with the bruises

I have a friend thats gorgeous and sweet
she's every guys dream; she can't be beat
no where inside lie any proof of being innocent
for drugs and alcohol is where she spent every last cent

I have a friend smarter than most
she holds her books o' so close
those her only friends
mostly because she doesn't fit in

I have a friend who tops them all
she's the one with padding on her walls
although she's there I feel she's getting stronger
for she can hurt herself no longer
