Now I have friends

February 21, 2008

I once had no fun
Just a loser #1
All the way through school

I had only one friend
I was the lame one all the way
Everyone avoided me like I was trash

My school grades fell like a rock
Because I was scared
That answering the question wrong
Would make it seem even worse

Then I went to middle school
And I hummed a little tune
And someone overheard
And he said, “You like that too?”

Now I fit in
I’m not out of place
I don’t feel bad

I have fun every day
‘cause now I have friends

He didn’t know me
He was from Harvard before
He didn’t know I was the lame one
All he knew was that I liked what he liked

So he introduced me to his friends
And I became one of group

And…Now I fit in
I’m not out of place
I don’t feel bad

I have fun every day
‘cause now I have friends

My grades went back up
My confidence grew
And the taunts of others fell into the void

And...Now I fit in
I’m not out of place
I don’t feel bad
‘cause now I have friends

Sometimes I wonder,
What would have happened
If I hadn’t hummed that song

Maybe I would be like a bully
Possibly, more likely that
And then I would’ve been hated by everyone
Then everything would’ve been even worse then before

But…That didn’t happen
And now I fit in
I’m not out of place
I don’t feel bad

I have fun every day
‘cause now I have friends
…’cause now I have friends
