A Friend In Me Forever

*Collaboration, Nada started & Katie wrote every other stanza thereafter*

A failure like my cousin
how did i end up doing that
why oh why do you do that to me
what wrong did they do to punish them with me

A failure is not something you are
You are amazing inside and out
You make have made a mistake
But my darling you will learn from it

some mistakes are forgivable
but what i have done is not
I have brought shame to my family
forever their heart will be broken

Time will pass & hearts will mend
Soon you will come out on top again
Don't lose faith in yourself
For you will one day succeed

I learned my lesson
but it's too late
why didn't i see it
will I ever get a chance to say I'm sorry

Don't give up now
You can go far
Try try again
Until you do well

My friend, I wish i can turn back time
My life, nothing but a lie
I wished to be something,
guess I'll never be that anymore

Darling, don't get so hard on yourself
You have the knowledge to do well
And a heart of pure gold
You'll rise above the rest

Will that be the case
Maybe I wasn't meant to go there
Finally, the freedom I deserve
but now I'll never have

Soon you will be free
Of your pain and heartache
You will succeed
Put your heart & soul into it

Thank you, my friend
I know things will be better,
Even if not there
at least I have a friend in you

A friend in me you will always have
When things fall downhill
I'm holding your hand now
And forever I will
