POEM STARTER

Write a poem that starts in a cheerful, bright mood, but then reveals underlying anger or bitterness.
The Friend I Understand
I get it
I know
It makes sense that you never include me in conversations
Makes sense that you never talked to me in class
But still copied off me
I get why you invited all my friends to the mall but not me
It’s fine that you lied and told the one friend I had, that I had been invited and just didn’t come
I don’t mind that I gave you a second chance
Only to watch you throw it away when you moved, and told everyone but me
I honestly don’t care that I acted all interested in your hobbies when in reality they were boring
It doesn’t bother me that I out so much effort in trying to be your friend, only for you to laugh in my face
And never give me a second thought.
