I want to know what a friend is.

Are they a shoulder to cry on

When everyone is against you?

Will they always be by my side?

The world thinks I am weird because

I want to know what a friend is.

Is it my fault that I wish for

A non-biological sibling?

I heard stories of people who

Ended up with toxic companions.

I want to know what a friend is

So I won't become like them.

I talk to people a lot, but

I never felt that connection

Of security or kindness.

I want to know what a friend is.
