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 lossed.

I have a friend who is single after a year.
She felt bored and monotonous 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 high school 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 fell 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 that's gorgeous and sweet.
She's every guys dream; she can't be beat.
No where inside her lie any proof of being innocent,
for drugs and alcohol was where she spent every last cent.

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.

I hope you like it, i know i do!!! THANX
