I see you walk the hallways

Bruises barely covered by band-aids

Messy hair bags under tired eyes

Split lip and scrathes all over

You exchanged your skirts and dresses

For ripped jeans and worn hoodies

Beaming smile for a constant deep frown

Pushed away your cheery friends

Who betrayed you I know

Because with them so did I

Now you hang out with the feral ones

Like a moth to a flame

But more like

Crow to crow

They say opposites attract

But you are the exact opposite

Where did the girl I once knew go

But I still catch a few glimpses

When you are alone with them

Helping my brother stand up

Like you once did for me

Till I bit your helping hand

Tore your trust to shreds

Dressing them up in the confines of your home

Where you have only started to feel safe again

Putting them into the prettiest clothes

Hand-made by you

I once wore them too

Flowy skirts silky dresses

Sparkling jewellery and pointy high heels

Painting their face bright with make-up

And colouring their nails

Making them laugh giving them gifts

Then one more joins your pair

You let her in with ease

And shower her with affection

Like you used to do to us all

And being kind is hard

Especially to everyone all the time

Now it is only the three outcasts

That stick together in school and out

And you have become strong

Physically I mean

Because you were always strong

And so I have to wonder

What could have broken someone like you

What happened to the girl I loved still do

Please let me in

I crave to be friends again

I know I messed up big time

I do not seek forgiveness

I only want to stop the hurt

And lighten the burden you carry

I will do anything to make life better

And right my wrongs undergone by you

I want to be an outcast too
