The love of a friend...

I was someone,
But for me I was no one.
I was rejected,
Hardly accepted.
Invisible in school,
Course I wasn’t cool.
I was known as a nerd,
My voice was never heard.
I asked god, why me?
He answered back, because you are lucky…
I thought and thought,
I blinked and blinked,
Then I realized,
The whole world changing before my eyes.
Years passed,
People moved on fast,
My parents died, leaving me alone,
Hardly understanding what was going on.
I tried to hold on my fears,
Never telling anyone about the nightmares.
I was living in darkness
Yet no one with me, the friendless,
I again asked god, why me?
He answered again, because you are lucky…
My hands were wrapped around me ‘course it was a cold night
I was walking and walking then I saw a cars light
It came and stopped right in front of me
I was wondering how stupid the driver had been
Then someone lowered the windscreen
And told me to get in
I was touched by her sweet words
And I thanked her loads
It was a long way to her house
She asked me how my life was
I told her everything,
And she told me that she to go through the same things
That was the day my life just began
A wonderful phrase by a kind human
And I now know the meaning of lucky
And I am very happy
Just because of one sweet phrase
Every nightmare of mine, just erased
A friend’s love
Has changed the world
