Dear Toxic Friends And BFFs

Sometimes I get scared of how relatable these poems are. I got scared of this poem because of that. I know I'm always the friendly type of girl (the black cat in my yard that poops everywhere is now my friend) and I always make friends with the most toxic people. And it just pains me when I want to make real friends, and when I try to, the toxic friends are always there. They need you, and you need them. Or so I thought.
I want someone who doesn’t judge

My interests that I adore so much

But dear toxic friends

This is why our friendship never mends

You make jokes about me

And my personality

And my appearance

Of course my perseverance

You yell when I mess up

Yeah I know, just SHUT UP

This is why I want a fresh start
I really like this part of the poem. It really highlights how people who say they are your friends, hurt you, and beat you down. In my case I'm always called out by my toxic friends. They'll bring up something from the past that makes me feel bad and embarrassed. I just want someone who sees me for who I am—and doesn’t use my vulnerabilities as punchlines.
I’m learning that I don’t have to keep people in my life just because they’ve been there for a long time. I deserve friendships that feel safe, not ones that leave me questioning my worth.

hi majuli here to review!!

firstly, i think this is the first review i'm doing for you? i'm excited. now lets start.

firstly, the title. the word "dear" is what made me read it. i just knew you were gonna roll them in the dust.

secondly, i LOVE that the words rhyme. it just gives a rhythm to the poem. i, personally, write in freestyle and i sometimes struggle with finding the rhymes but yours seem so in place. the words have a continuous flow, with no dramatic breaks.

overall, i can't really offer advice. i liked it. i will try to review more of your work.

happy writing!!

Here is Hop with a review
I am going to try something a little new.
I love your poem, it has such grace,
It really shows the struggles you face.

It's relatable and shows much sorrow,
But it also leaves room for tomorrow.
I like how in the end you tell your friends
That you are all thankful for them.

I love this poem it truly hits me,
I've said it twice but that's how it should be.
You say your emotions with such a key,
It's easy to pick up the melody.

What I'm trying to say is it rolls off the tongue,
This talent and skill is impressive since we are still quite young.
I like how you ended it all in a question,
Like a silent goodbye, a quiet reflection.

The few improvements that this might need
Is maybe some spacing don't you think?
Although it might be because of yws
So it doesn't matter because it's not a mess.

I think overall it might be my favorite,
You put your foot down no need to explain it.
I hope you don't mind how i reviewed,
Because it's not about me, it's all about you.

So until next time when I see thee
I can't wait to see you, my favorite bestie.
So until then stay safe AND GET YOU SOME SLEEP.
