“No one likes me!”
I cried aloud one day,
Three different voices had something to say:

The first said: “I can see why! XD” and laughed in my face.

The second replied, “ I like you :) “ and held my hand for a moment.

And the third (whom I’ll remember the most)
Said, “The most important thing is for you to like yourself.”

I wrote this at school once when I felt lonely. This poem, I hope, will encourage another whom may have felt as I did.
