Hate

I hate myself for this
I hate this person I've become
I hate who I am and who I thought I would never be
I hate my father for making me this way
I hate the selfishness I have now become
I hate the endless pain I put people through
I hate the way I hide myself in this pain
I hate the crazy world I’m living in called my life
I hate when my friends suffer because of my problems
I hate the fact that everything I've worked so hard not to be is what defines me
I hate that people cant see who I really am
I hate that my heart is broken with no one to put it back together.

Friend

Friends are funny.
Friends can be freaky.
Friends are always there.
Friends will be there for you when you need them.
Friends listen.
Friends make you laugh so hard you cry.
Friends face the facts.
Friends are an important factor in our lives.
They will never let us be a failure.
Friends won't let you fade away from being you.
They always have faith in you.
They're never fake or fraud.
Friends may be far away, but they're always close at heart.
Friends are forever, like you and me.

Best Friend

You're the one who's by my side
when no one else is there.
You're the one I can always count on,
You always seem to care.

You help me through
the tough times,
and when I've lost all hope,
You cry with me at sad times,
and laugh at all my jokes.

You never seem to judge me
or ever put me down,
You put a smile on my face,
Whenever you see a frown.

You're better than a brother,
You're more than just my boyfriend,
You have a special place in my heart,
That's why your my Best Friend.
