Your Words

Your words
Still ring in my ears
Even after
All this time

"Is it good or bad
being so self sufficient?"
It didn't hurt
You were just curious

But it pains
Me and my heart
To not know
How to answer

My sisters friend
Justin
Asked me
Before he left one night.

Little did he know
That it would
Bother me
Constantly

"You've changed.
And not in a good way either."
A used-to-be
Close friend

I admire her courage
To tell me
To my face
Instead of behind my back

But please tell me,
Would you change
After watching the one person
You have ever truly love

Fall in love
With any one else
In the world
But you?

"You only got that,
Because you're
A suck up."
My horse lover

Who remains
In my heart
With very
Little trust.

I still trust
One person completely though
"Honestly, who thinks like you?!
Not many people!"

My L.A. teacher
Leann Shelley
One of the few
Who believed in me

And recognized
My true
Individuality
And uniqueness.
