I Had Friends…

I had friends…

I had friends who never engaged contact unless I was the one who started it

I had friends who talked badly about someone so nice yet I couldn’t stand up because I was too scared

I had friends who left me for someone else

I had friends who I thought were kind but acted so different

I had friends who made me feel like I didn’t belong because I did something someone else did as well

But the past is the past

And now I have friends who let me rant and listen

And now I have friends who help bring up my confidence to finally stand up for myself

And now I have friends who share their lunch when I forget to bring mine

And now I have friends who have the same interests

And now I have friends who help me when I don’t understand

And now I have friends who understand

Now I have friends…
