Eighth Grade
The last year of middle school
when so many things changed
The year I truely grew up
and had to change
The year I joined the high school marching band
and made new friends
The year I realized my friend wasn't okay
something was wrong
The year my friend was in so much pain
she began to cut
The year I had no idea what to do
how to heal or help her pain
The year I had to answer questions
I never thought I would
The year that me and my friend
made it through afterall
The year that I knew
I was no longer a child
The year that I knew
I could no longer pretend
This poem is about:
Me
