Moving On
Dear Girls,
In elementary school
We’re having sleepovers every weekend
It’s a group of 10 best friends who tell each other everything
begging our parents to let us play for 5 more minutes
With no drama,
no gossip
no lies
At least not yet
I’ve found my “true friends”
Dear Girls,
In middle school
Why’d you say that about me?
I thought we were friends
Why would you point that out in me?
Now that’s all I see when I look in the mirror
They got in a fight so we have to take sides,
sitting in the principal’s office sorting out who said what about who
I miss when there was
no drama
no gossip and
no lies
Dear Girls,
In high school,
I was sad, lonely, and hurt
I wasn’t happy with my friends
because I didn’t know what “true friends” meant
Then I met them
and I knew they were my people
The girls who don’t have drama,
The girls who won’t gossip and
The girls who don’t lie
The girls that make me feel like a new shiny person
one who was once rusted
The girls who helped me find myself and move on
Dear Girls,
who gossiped and lied
I hope you move on too because
moving on is like the sun finally shining through the clouds after its been raining all week
The warmth taking over the gray that once consumed you
I hope you feel the warmth
I hope you find the people who make you new and shiny too
I hope you won’t gossip and lie anymore and
I hope you move on
