I Need Friends
I-
I am not you,
Not your teacher, not the guy next door
Not anyone else
I am just an ordinary girl
An ordinary, short Asian girl

Need-
People need food, shelter, and air
We need many things to survive
But do we really need friends?
Or do we just want them
Do we just want a companion to be by our side?

Friends-
Are the people that are always there for you
to give you a hand
Friends are the ones
to give a warm smile or bear hug whenever you need it
And those kind of friends, are exactly what I have


The author's comments:

This poem started off as an assignment for school. This poem was written as I was thinking about how life was going and how it was going to change when everyone went their own ways. Will I still keep in touch with everyone? Will I keep in touch with my friends? The ones I always spent my time with?

Be happy, not because everything you see is good, but because you can see the good in everything.

I like it! That's how I feel about my friends, too.
