A poem created by Annie Janine,
Clique
I cry
alone
they don't care
my former friends
in the clique
they've changed
left out
mom asks
how was school?
I lie
'fine'
she wouldn't understand
the clique
i am not in
the girls
who ignore me
I want to crawl up in a corner and die
I know they laugh
at me
my style
my clothes
my hair
but not to my face
the parties
I'm not invited to
they talk about
right infront
of my nose
I want to scream
I need to talk
to somone
anyone
but I don't have anyone
the clique
