I like to think that I’m kind of heart But sometimes the things my best friends say Dampens this image I try to portray: Just as class is about to start, A girl walks in maintaining a distance My point is proven in this particular instance I hear my friend say “My God she’s so weird” Just loud enough that the whole room could maybe hear The girl shot us a look and I knew that the comment had hit her Quite frankly, I don’t blame her for being so bitter How could she say that? That brat! I’m tempted to call her on what she just said But I shamefully laugh along with her instead Because the thing I dread more than the notion others see Is being shunned by the inside if I were to disagree And others might call me a shadowing drone And so be it if it means I will not be alone
