5th Grade

I really enjoyed this poem. Something somewhat similar happened to me in 5th grade.

I was in 5th Grade

I had four best friends

A surprise birthday party was what I got

Things were joyful; things were well

Until they spilled my crush to the entire class

They said sorry; I forgave them.


I was in 6th Grade

I had two best friends

The other two left to be popular girls

But they were bullied for personality and weight

And I got a huge target on my back

My other two friends made me cry

They said sorry; I forgave them.


''I was in 7th Grade

I had five best friends

They decorated my locker for my birthday

Things were joyful; things were well

Until they mocked me and made me cry

They said sorry; I forgave them''

I really enjoyed this part of the poem. You still forgave those friends of yours even after all those hurtful things they have done to you. I wouldn't be so forgiving. I mean its good that you forgive but never forget.

I had a lot of friends that made me cry to. I used to be friends with this girl named L in 8th grade, but after the first few days at school she called me out in class, in front of everyone. I had to hide behind my Harry Potter book and cry.

''I’m their toy now

And hitting me hard with pencil cases''

This part just bought back bad nostalgia. I remember in my time in 7th grade some kids attacked me with some pencils when I had my back turned. I lied to my mom and said nothing happened at school.

I can really feel the emotion those "friend" put you through. You know what I say? Frick them. If they are dumb enough to hurt someone for laughs, than they don't deserve a friend that you are. Toxic friends are terrible, but not everyone is bad, and I'm sure you'll find someone willing to be a true friend, and if not, there are plenty people that can help you with anything you need, whether it may be someone you need to support you, or just listen. Everything aside, this is an amazing poem, and kinda struck me hard, as my eariler life was somewhat like this, and I can only imgaine how bad it would be as most of your life. I hope in your future, you have better friends that can stand by you, and give helpful, positive thoughts, instead of just trying to break down an amazing person whose already been through so much. Overall, I really like this poem and might be one of my faviorites.

Toxic friends really are a curse. If any of these are based on true events, you just deserve so much better, and I hope that manifests for you. Anyway, that aside, it’s a great poem, Cats. 👏😊
