At a young age You were kind of small,very silent, If no one spoke to you you'd never say anything , and quite lonely, You were dramatic when you felt like the time was right for a joke. Sad you had no one to share them with you spot A small group of other children at the park Trying to make at least one friend You see one person leave the group heading towards the park bathroom, waiting outside that person comes out, Asking if you could join in their fun, The boy was shocked for a moment not realizing you were there, but then quickly agrees and takes you to he's friend group . . .
