Friends

I examine my camera
I've only had it
For half a year

Kodak EasyShare M853

"8.2 mega pixels"
Proudly gleams
In the lower
Left-hand corner

There's nothing too special
About the camera itself
It's what it's been used for
That captivates me

I've shot pictures of:

A snow fall
That will never fall
Exactly the same
Ever again

My cousin's
Second birthday
Where he sang himself
Happy Birthday
Before snorting out
The candles

Christmas with
My best friend
With my mom and dad
The first Christmas dinner
I cooked myself

Random adventures
With unmistakenly_alive12
My best friend
Where we stay up late
Worrying about sounds
In her house
Writing poetry
Gaffawing about idiots
Contemplating the meaning of life

Normal stuff

I've shot pictures of:

20 chins

You lay
On my back

Stare at
The ceiling

Say penis
Like a child

Talk about
Poop sticks

Sigh
And say
Your eue
Is twitching

Grab y
iHome

State
That you'll
Plug it in

Finally do

I just
Write
Everything down
Laugh
At your reactions
To everything

So blunt
So out there

Not always
The best choice
Just always

You

I love
How we've
Become
Best friends

We tell
Each other

Everything

Laugh at
Each other's
Thoughts
Perceptions
Circumstances

And yet

We're always
There
And ready
To be
Understanding
Compassionate
Uplifting

I watch
Us

And smile
Loving how
We're opposites
North and south
Pulled together

Super magnets

Hope
We'll always
Be bestest friends

We always
Will be

Bike
To the playground

Walk
To the middle

Lay
On the structure

Stick
Headphones in your ears

Pass
One to me

Press
In my ear

Listen
To the soundwaves

Dismiss
The beauty

Stop

Wonder
About the world

Think
About the sun

Contemplate
The rain

Remove
Music from aural orifice

Smile
To myself

Remember
The last two years

Growing

Maturing

Becoming
Who we are

Smirk
At life

Know

This is how it should be

We reach out
To friends
To family
To God
To role models

We reach out
Looking for
Security
Hoping for
Safety

We reach out
To people
Who we can't
Talk to in
Person

We reach out
To people who
Won't email us
Back

We reach out
To people we
Get frustrated with
Who get frustrated
With us

We reach out
Hoping they'll
Do the same
Wishing they'll
Put their trust
In us
Like we put ours
In them

We reach out
Even though we
Just know
They'll never
Talk to us
About it

We reach out
So that we
Can be there
In the rare event
They'll open up
And talk to us

We reach out
Even though
They seem to
Reject us
All the time

We reach out

Why?

woman
you best know that this
is shit

if you believe this
you're lying in a huge
puddle of lies

you are pretty
you are wanted
you are loved
you are desired
you are envied
you are stunning

you're just you
and that's all you'll ever be
and that's a good thing
don't be someone else

i don't want to be friends
with anyone but you

stop waiting for rejection
from boys
from teachers
from friends
from everyone

you'll be waiting for
the rest of your life

alone
scared
miserable
self loathing

if that's who you want to be
leave me out

cause i'm just me
and that's all i'll ever be
and the me that i am
knows that her best friend
is not who she thinks she is

so stop wallowing in self pity
get up off your ass
and be phenomenal

oh
wait

you already are

I never knew
How amazing
Your poetry is
Or
How amazing
Our friendship is

I never knew
That being
Best friends
Meant
Being us

I never knew
The strength
The courage
Standing up
For each other

Just
To push
The other down
And laugh XD

I never knew
How close
People could be
Until
It was
You and me

I never knew

And yet
It's always
Been around
But I couldn't
See
Through
Closed eyes

I never knew
That you'd
Opened my lids
Sprayed water
In my face
Smacked me
A few times

I never knew
That I'd
Woken up
From my
Nightmare

Until I met
You

I thought I wasn’t jealous
I didn’t care
I was invincible
We were friends
But then I saw her all over you
I saw that sort of flirting I could never get
Yet still
I continued to ridicule you
In that way I do

“Do you like him?”
My friend asks
“No, I answer,”
Automatically

But something has changed
And I wish it hadn’t

Laughter
Words
Emotions
Screams
Simple sounds
That fill the hearts of other girls with envy
Except that we’re just friends
And for once, I’m okay with that

Touching and sad,
when friends have to go,
and you let them,
when you don't want to.

Memories just don't do it,
because you want to be real,
not false,
not phony,
but you have to let them go.

Sometimes friends are there,
sometimes they are gone,
most always they return,
but sometimes they are just gone,
forever.

The best friends always stay,
when they can,
and when they can't,
they come back,
always.

Friend…
What does that
Word even mean?

Someone you trust?
Someone you can tell things to?
Whatever the meaning,
Everyone needs at least one, why?

Know the saying
‘Best friends forever’
How long is forever?

Why do friends come and go?
But best friends are for life?

How come you
Can never have too many
Friends?

What does it mean
To have a best friend?
How can I get one?
Where can I get one?
Why do I need one?

Why do some friends
Back stab you?
Why do they turn
Against you?

They betray you why?
They must not be
A true friend then
But why?

Why do they leave you?

My body was suddenly tight! I tried to free myself. I was like little ropes. When I tried to look around I felt a tug in my front side. I closed my eyes for I knew who it was. I braced myself for the third tug, I felt it. I said, “Hello Fiona, Mya, and Olivia.”

*ok, this is sort of a joke between apples and I... It's really weird because, well, it just is.*

My only true friends
Are the rats that live in the trashcan.
My only true friends
Are the shadows in my head,
The bacteria that live inside my intestines.
My only true friends
Are the rejected and discarded pencil shavings
That have fallen on the floor,
The lost knee socks

This is based on the movie Happy Feet. It's about penguins. I wrote it last year.

Why did we have to move here?” I screech so hard my mom and dad had to hold their ears. Why couldn’t we have just stayed at Unique Peoplesville where we lived happily? I thought.
Everybody hates me here. They say I’m too grouchy and not trustworthy. That’s why I have no friends.

Ten equals happiness. Ten diverse but surprisingly similar people know how lucky they are to have this opportunity that turned into a lot more than they expected.

true friends
will stick with you forever
but, eventially we will part ways
no matter where we are
we know we have someone we can talk to
some to hold us when we cry.
Someone that will pick you up when you fall
that someone, no matter how far away
will always be with you
in your heart, mind, and soul
