"Real girls aren't perfect, and perfect girls aren't real" - unknown <br /> <br /> * My favorite quote changes on a day to day basis though... (:


I am sitting here staring at a screen  
Trying to persuade myself it is not like it seems  
That I have friends  
That I am loved 
That there is someone who enjoys me  
Someone who would cry if I died in a tub  
A person who would wish they had sent a message 
Or said hello  
Who would regret  
Leaving me all alone 
I don’t know if it was something I said  
Or if maybe I am filled with too much dread  
But I just want one friend  
Who can give me a hug  
Instead of  trying to give me drugs 
 
Oh Abe Engleke  
The most popular kid in school 
Some would say the bully  
But he was a better friend then all of you  
Even if the rumors were true  
He was actually nice and talked to me  
He responded to people  
And made me happy 
He put all those rumors to waste  
And showed me how kind he was 
He wasn’t as strong as everyone thought 
He had doubts  
And sure he copied handouts for school 
But he counted more than all of you  
He would drink  
But he was also the funniest person I knew 
Some thought he was mean  
But they didn’t really know you  
He would stand up for those in need  
And okay maybe he has smoked weed 
And yes he has dated quite a few girls  
But honestly he was just trying to find himself 
He was my friend  
Even though he barely knew my name  
He put everyone else to shame  
Because all of you threw me on the ground  
and rubbed me all around 
But Abe 
He stayed the same  
Him always my friend  
Me, the invisible girl he didn’t really know 
But he was worth more than gold in my book  
Even if I was just another streak  
Abe engelke  
The popular boy  
Who made mistakes  
But you all took them too far 
So stop spreading rumors  
U should know aren't true 
Because when someone does something wrong 
Doesn’t mean we should forget about all the good too 
So thank you Abe  
For giving me an escape  
From all these people  
Even if it was for less than a week.
