When I was a small child
I decided I was going to do everything
From reading books
To observing life
To build myself,
To become a kind, loving, and friendly girl
Liked by all hated by none
I wanted to surround myself with friends
Similar to the way I had surrounded myself with toys as a kid
To escape into a world
Where I was happy and free
My toys faded
And my friends became my world
So when they tell me
"You're so annoying"
"You're so stupid"
or
"No one likes you"
It kills me
The way are telling me
I am not the person I built myself to be
My friends are my world
And without them,
I have nothing.
