Here I am, alone, with no friends,
low in spirits, feeling like I will never be happy again.
There is no one to cheer me up,
because no one wants to be my friend.
They talk behind my back, make me cry,
And don’t show me any kindness.
Sadness is trapped inside me,
I feel like I’m in a blue border of depression
That’s blocking me from the sun.
Every day I feel in hell, and I wish someone would lend a hand.
My heart is blue not pink like others, the feeling of sadness.
As a tear slowly runs down my cheek I feel the end of happiness.
Then I feel a warm hand on my shoulder,
I look up and see someone.
For the first time I give a smile and feel happiness come back!

Be nice and lend a hand to someone who needs it!
