Tough Stuff.

In the past it was rough,
boys and girls making my life tough.

always getting picked on and getting called names,
it made me self conscious and insane.

coming home crying everyday,
thinking why live life this way?

when I learned we were going to junior high,
I saw my whole life flash by.

elementary gossip was already rough enough,
but going to middle school would be even more tough.

I dreaded the day when we had to start,
I already had enough hurt in my heart.

the first few days were strange,
everything was such a big change.

all the people from my old school and a whole bunch new,
I wasn't sure what to think or do.

that year I met two girls who soon became my friends,
and as our friendship progressed my heart began to mend.

I never thought we would be more close than we were back then,
but to this day, they're the ones I call true friends.
