Do you know what it's like to be the only minorty or cacajun in a school? Everybody making you feel left out. Looking for one face in the crowd that's smiling at you, but all you see is hate. You wanna run away, but there is no place to hide. You trying to put your feelings aside. The only people that like you are the teachers. But, that makes you even more angry.
Then, you finally find a friend, think they gonna always be there till the end. But, then everybody puts your friend of to the side,too.You angry because you didn't want anybody else like you. But all you can do is cry. Your true friend is always by your side.

I hope people will learn friends are not those who, leave you when times get tough. But they stay there through the happy and rough.
