Tonight I’m so sad, I realize I’ve never had a true friend
They’re, there when I have anything to lend,
But never when I’m close to my end
Do I try to hard and overextend?
I promise thats not what I intend
But lately I’ve put up my guard
because you keep calling me a retard
you burn my soul until it’s charred
Then throw me away like a discard.

I try and keep friends but I move around a lot so I try even harder to talk to everyone but they just get sick of me because they don't see me

It's a nice job. I think you have something special about your writing and it's gonna get you out of your sadness. Someday you'll be a great writer and you'll remember this part of your life as if it was just a bad DREAM ^_^ Keep writing it's really good :)
