Fake friends

I was really naive 

A new kid expecting to make new friends

Real friends

That would be with you every step of the way

Invite you to things

Hang out ALL the time

But that didn't happen 

I had school friends

They didn't talk to me outside of school

Never 

Never got invited anywhere 

Never texted me for my opinion 

And then high school came 

I stopped talking to those friends

And was alone again 

New friends came 

I was still naive 

Thought these friends would be real

I was again wrong

Not invited anywhere

Used 

Only talked to inside of school

Not invited anywhere

And when I was I didn't feel welcome 

Lied to 

Used

Ignored

Upset

I was there for them when they were upset

The only time I was upset was because of them 

Courage is the child at the playground

Courage never stops going up the stairs then down the slide 

Courage is always there

At the playground 

Courage goes on the monkey bars even though they are very scary 

Courage falls but gets right back up again 

Bigger, and older kids are also scary 

When the bigger kids come to the park

Courage doesn't leave 

Courage is like a superhero 

But courage doesn't wear a cape to the park 

But courage gets scared too 

Just like the other kids

A bully steals kids lunch money

The bully is fear 

Courage sticks up for herself 

Courage doesn't give into fear and give him her lunch money 

Courage is a child 

The face of God

To fall in love 

Boyfriends and family

Your first loves

The most powerful happiness 

Comfortable and amazing 

Emotions pour our 

Never stopping and unbreakable
