I was bullied,
I was hurt
But I made mistakes too
I also did things
Which now, I truly, rue
I put my faith in friends
And loved them with my heart-
Some of whom proved true
But some showed their true colours
Though thankfully, these were few
I am more relaxed now
And learnt what truly matters
My temper rarely flares -
I also avoid doing such things
That would earn me angry glares.
So now I have learnt
How to live my life
And avoid the frivolous chatter -
To have just few good friends
For numbers do not matter
