Thank You So Much

by Caneel

I was all alone
And unfarmilliar with the modernness of public school
You sat next to me everyday
And were my friend

Some call me naive
Others, strange
Even more call me odd
And the ever-popular deranged

Thank you for sticking with me
Through all those tricky years
We had great times together
And also shed some tears

Thanks for embracing
The real me
Not trying to change me
Into the person others wanted me to be

Thank you
