Mari: I like writing poetry, so I wrote one about Yusuke. And like I said
in the summary, this used to be "Life of the Forbidden Child" but I'm
adding other poems.

My Friends

All my life, I have never belonged
No matter where I went.
No one could accept who I am.
I was an outcast.

Then I met her.
She was the only one who understood me.
And we are safe with each other.
We will always understand each other's problems.
Because we are friends

We will stand by each other.
No matter what happens.
Because we are best friends

We have grown up together,
We have known each other for a long time
And we could never be more different
She was a good student
I was a bad one
But even still, we were still friends

People wonder why, or how we can stand each other.
Sometimes, even I wonder the same thing
And I'm sure she thinks the same
But we still care for each other.
And now, a lot of things have changed
I have died and come back to life
And because of that I have made even more friends
We all vary in personality and none of us are the same
But despite that, we are all friends

I care for them all
And if they were in trouble
I would do anything I can to save them
And they would do the same for me

Now I have many friends
And they all understand me
And have accepted me for who I am
And they like me because I am me
And I like them because they are them

But no matter how many friends I have
None would be as close to me as her
Even though she can be a pain
And she can slap hard
We will always be best friends
No matter what
My first friend...Keiko.
