Best friend Quote by Brittany Snyder
“I am a poet writing about pain I am a person recovering & trying to gain. I am your daughter who is trying to learn. i am your sister who is starting to turn. I am your friend acting like I'm fine. I am a wisher wishing you werent mine. I am a girl who thinks about s******. I am a teenager who pushes her feelings aside. I am a student who knows nothing. I am the one asking you to care. I am your best friend hoping you will be there.”
