Friends Vs Drama

The wind rushes by,
I push away.
The screams become louder,
I push away.
The fists go flailing in every direction,
I push away,
The rumours creep around like vines,
I push away.
Darkness and Anguish start taking over,
I push away.
Oh, but here comes the light,
a hand is held out,
bright smiles fill the gaps,
welcoming eyes and radiant faces,
I reach out and take the hand.
Me and my friends in our own little bubble free from the drama of the outside world.
