Shakita: You Are

By Shakita Paige, Grade 7

You are a friend that does not realize
that your life experience has touched many lives
You are a girl that I came to
When I had problems you helped me through

You are a child that’s so wise and strong
It makes no since that you want your life to be gone
You are some one that’s apart of my life
Open your eyes and put down the knife

You are a friend I wished for for years
Don’t kill yourself and let loose my tears
When I had problems it was Arlinda I went to
I can’t no more because the problem is you

You are a friend that does not realize
that your life experience has touched many lives
