My Best Friends Life
by Stacie H, Dunnville, Ontario, Canada, Age 14


I'm lost in my depression
Chased round and round by fear.
Knowing that my worries,
Will never disappear.
I long for someone to talk to,
A caring friend or two.
But all's I get is cheats and liars
And everything but the truth.

My life is so messed up right now.
When, will this all end?
I am fighting a losing battle,
That has lots of curves and bends.
My friends are all betraying me,
The girl I loved is gone.
My life seemed fine and dandy,
Till my friend, who's an ass came along.

I don't know where I'll go from here,
I have no realistic dream.
My hopes and wishes have all been shattered
Right in front of me.
I hope my life will soon get better,
That I'll find some decent friends.
I'll find a girl who reads this letter,
And see's that I'm a good man.

School's a drag, no good fun,
My parents hate me too.
I hope that one day, someone sees
I deserved more than you.

I am a decent guy I am,
I make a lot of mistakes too.
I can change myself and behavior
But not like others do.
I am unique, one of a kind,
I do have morals and goals.
I secretly have a brilliant mind,
And a positive influence role.

I know one day sometime soon,
My new dream will come.
If I just wait so patiently,
The bad in my life will be gone.
Of course I know that I'll never have
Everything I say.
But some decent friends, a girl with brains,
And a life would be okay.
