The Charm Bracelet

I want to be a bracelet,
not left alone,
to have other bracelets
with me
who will never leave me,
to be a person’s
best friend,
that they would
love and wear
till I break.
I want to be a bracelet
that has
pretty and special charms
To make me feel pretty
and special.
I want to stand out
to not be boring.
To not have to worry about
little and big things,
like not understanding a
maths sum.

Not someone who gets left out.
Not someone who has to try
to fit in like everyone else,
to do what I want.
It’s too late,
you can’t change  my mind.
Don’t come out in sympathy,
to see if I’m alright.
Don’t say its silly
to be, a bracelet.
Don’t judge,
Don’t have me explain
why.
I just want
to be a bracelet,
treasured and loved,
forever.
