Hanging
September 24, 2009
teetering
swaying
on the edge
of the cliff
of popularity
i look down
its a far way down
standing there
on the brink of falling
what should i do?
i see my friends
or i thought they were my friends
laughing
having fun
ignoring me
on the other side
i slip
i am hanging there
off the cliff
by a finger
a single finger
she walks over,
my life long friend
and she stares
and i stare back
will she help me?
will she and her popular friends
rescue me?
protect me?
she looks sad
my heart sinks as
she turns and walks
away
