2003 (5th Grade)

We are best friends forever
Even though sometimes you make me glad
And sometimes you make me really sad
I know you didn’t mean what you said
But you weren’t thinking ahead
To what would happen to me
Can’t you see?
You made me really sad
Will I ever be glad?
I look around
I hear the sound
“I’m sorry,
Best friends forever?”

Note: This month I’m dedicating to sharing many of my earliest poems and songs from elementary and middle school, which I previously overlooked. Despite not being my best work, they laid the foundation for the writer I’ve become. It’s important for me to acknowledge this part of my history and its role in shaping my journey as a writer.
