One of Those Days
Quiet
No more giggles
No more laughs
Alone in my world
I found myself fast
From CA to GA
In my own little bubble
Friends were a luxury
Relationships in rubble
Sophomore year is no joke
People all seem fit
In groups that go back
But me
I had no pack
New faces stared
Not unkind
Just unaware
They passed me by
Until I was left
Hopeless in the hall
Trying to open
A locker on the wall
Tears of frustration
A year of pain
I finally decided
To make some gains
A conscious choice
To grow
To thrive
I became thankful
That I was alive
I took that journey
Made friends along the way
I reflected
I learned
That friends take effort
But hard work pays
Somehow I discovered this
My 15 year old brain
I grew up that year
On one of those days
