It be like that sometimes

It was good when I started

I felt accepted at first

But still I knew

I must brace myself for the worst

It was slow, It was sudden

Everything was fine

But in the back of my mind I knew..

It was only a matter if time

Before they discovered

Just how weird I was

They'd turn their backs and disown me

I'd have to take a different bus

On that first day I was scared

I knew I'd act like a fool

But that's just who I am

I've never been "cool"

My middle school friends were gone

The only one's who accepted me weren't here

I was all alone now

Just me and my fear

I tried to act strong

Be confident, make them laugh

With me and not at me

Not be so different among the mass

But that wouldn't last

My awkwardness, insecurity, and weird habbits shined through

And then it happened

The day I feared came to pass

In an instant they all left me

Any friends I'd made were gone

As if they never existed

Or destroyed by some atomic bomb

But there is hope in this story

From the friends who inspired me to write this

I've learned this very important line

Now that I know they're here for me, I can shrug this off and say

It be like that sometimes
