Shauna Stoltz (03/02/1990 / Washington)
calling names
someone calls me a name
but I brush it off
wanting to show them
that I am tough
you call me this
every single day
and with such bliss
you humiliate me
you talk about me
behind my back
everyday with
a different attack
you say you care
about our friendship
but you always
sail a different ship
a ship that's hard
for me to fallow
when I'm near you
it's hard to swallow
because I never know
what you'll say tomorrow
what will it take
to end my sorrow
to end this pain
that I feel from you
I have to tell you
how I really feel
I can't take this
from you anymore
so now I tell you
we're friends no more.
