I know that I have hurt you today
But I also know you can bear it.
I don't want you to weep for me
Even though that's what friends are for.
I know that this is not any thing new to you
Which is why I am glad to say
That lately in these hard times,
Though I hardly know you
I feel like you'll be there.
Even if I do end up losing
My Kodie and Redden and father,
I know that you'll listen to me
Whine and moan as I may
Until I feel it necessary to stop
And ask about your day.
Even when the thin gets thick
And the thick gets even thinner
and all I want is for somebody to love me back,
I know somewhere down there,
Hidden under layers of insignificance,
That you really do care.
Even though you don't say it
And I don't say it back
I really do care with all that I've got
(not in that creepy lesbian way either).
So if my little Finny ever needs anything
To brighten her day
Or to just say that somebody does care,
Just pull out this poem and I will reassure you
That, no, you are not the only one
Who feels these crazy things
And that yes, life just seems to
Suck butt lately, because we're in high school.
If it wasn't that way
Nobody would know what to do with us
(as if they're sure what to do with us now).
