i like my friends

i like my friends, i really do.
my friends make me feel normal,
they make me feel like me.
i don't have to fake it when i'm with my friends,
i'm just me.

i like my friends
because i can act goofy
and they won't reprimand
or look down on me,
they laugh and contribute
like good friends should

i like my friends
because they care,
and they share
they make me feel free

i like my friends
because they'd protect me i needed
no matter what comes our way
in their hands i'd put my life and
know i'd come out whole again

i like my friends
because it seems like it's been years
sicne we played in the sandbox or
helped push each other at the swings
or played tag on the playground

i like my friends
because they're my friends
and no one else can be like my friends

i like my friends
because i can wear slippers
and sweats and they don't complain

i like my friends
because they're like me
and i am like them
and we're like each other

i, like friends,
love them and they love me.
