Lately I’ve been feeling a little down in the “friend” department…but this new year has already brought some great new things, as well as new people into my life. If that isn’t enough, I had my friend send me this song/poem she wrote for me, just out of the blue. It’s gestures like these that give me so much hope in people and just in this new year itself. Already It’s turning out great :)….

Thanks Miss Savannah! I appreciate this beyond words….especially that you would take the time to write this for me.

Sometimes I lay awake and wonder why does this happen to me. 
I try to understand why you don’t care
Or are you just too blind to see
Popularity isn’t as important as it may seem
Why do you get pleasure from trying to kill my dream?
You will never know, I’m quickly letting go
My life is hell, and there’s noone I can tell
Say what you want, try to tear me down
I’ll tell you now one day you’ll all come around
I’m a girl with a beating heart inside
The true friend you’ll never know
What you say cuts so deep compassion was something you didn’t show
A small girl who could dream so big was such an easy target
The terror I saw you were the culprit
You will never know, I’m quickly letting go 
My life is hell, and there’s noone I can tell
Say what you want try to tear me down
I’ll tell you now one day you’ll come around
I’m rising to the top
You regret what you used to say 
I know I make you envious
Because after all you helped me get this way
I used to look in the mirror 
The girl who looked back was desolate and gloomy
But now thanks to you
The woman who looks back radiates with so much beauty
You never knew, I let go a long time ago
You put me through hell, but I stood strong and never fell
I was always stuck in the background
But I told you one day you’ll all come around
I’m standing on stage, it’s time to check my sound 
I look out across the sold out crowd
You finally came around, now you’re the one standing in the background
