• These are my friends
    the sisters I hold dear
    they tell me what is right for me
    they keep me safe
    my sisters are my friends and I love them
    but they are my sisters and being my sisters comes before being my friends

    These are my friends
    the books I hold dear
    they can not teach but I learn form them
    they keep me safe by showing me the world without being in it
    my books are my friends and I love them
    but they can not love me back and can not truly be my friends

    These are my friends
    the team I hold dear
    they help me improve every day
    they bandage my wounds
    my teammates are my friends and I love them
    but they lie to me and at the end of practice abandon me they are not real friends

    This is my friend
    her name is Ally
    we learn with each other and learn from each other
    we show proud the scars we got together
    we are friends and we each hold the other dear
    with her it's never they or me or my with her it's us and we but she could never be my friend
    for she is my best friend and she will always be the only one of her kind
