Best Friend (0:53)
by Danielle
 

I feel as if I don't fit in
It seems like I am nothing but an outcast
Nobody notices the things that I do
They will never know
Who I really am
I try and try again
To get them to notice me
But they never take the time
To notice or care that I am there
So I keep doing the things that I do
They still don't notice me
When they do it's for what I have done wrong
Not for what I have done right
Then one day I realized
That someone has been there through it all
But I guess that I just never knew it
Who is this person who has been by my side
Through all of the good and bad times
This person is my best friend
This person is you
The one who has always cared
The one who has always been there
So thank you for being you
