Why should I care about what other people think of me?I'm who I am and who I wanna be.


Teenage period often reveals who our true friends really are and I had this experience too.

Once upon a time, a few mistakes ago
Never realized that “best friends” is a promise not a label
But hard times always reveal true friends
There came a time when none of them stood up for me
And help me through my bad days
True friends are supposed to be the ones who
Always have nice things to say behind my back
And not to point out the qualities I lack
I felt so bad that I almost cried
But I thought they mustn’t have deserved me so I moved on
True friends walked in when the others walked out
They believed in me when I didn’t
We doubled our joys and divided our sorrows
They accepted me the way I was and also helped me become the way I should be
They became the bacon bits in my bowl of salad
I could slap them when I got excited, call them up at any hour to laugh, to cry or to complain
They gave the word “friendship” a meaning, made me laugh louder, smile and live better
They were the angles who lifted my feet off the ground when I had trouble remembering how to fly
Yesterday brought the beginning
Tomorrow will bring the end
And somewhere in the middle, we all became the best of friends!
To all my best friends:
Thanks for loving me despite my flaws

It's nice I really like it ^_^ I'd say it's more like a little story but You  used some really good expressions. There are some few mistakes here and there e.x ( Joy and sorrow are two words that can't be multiplide "you can't add the S at the end" cuz they are things that we can't touch phisically) I remember when I wrote my first poem, it was kinda hard but I was really proud even if there were mistakes. Cuz what matters the most is being able to let the reader recieve the msg u wanna share and then mistakes will fade away with some practise and reading so don't be worried about it ;) Now Your poem was really nice, I"d say you have the talent to picture the scene very well so we can all see and feel what you felt. I can certainly relate to this. So keep it up, I see potential here ;) Stick to it and you'll get better day by day. For a first time I would defenitly give you 5 stars :D Thank you for sharing this ^_^ P.S: I'm sorry I had to be long on this comment :P lol
