Friends,
People who you can talk too
People who you can trust
People who are there
when you need them most

Birds have friends
Birds help one another
Birds talk to one another
Birds can trust each other

Some birds are mean
Some birds are kind
Some birds are big and strong
While others are small and weak

Some birds are alone
Some birds have no friends
Some birds are too small
Or too weak

I am like a small bird
I am like a weak bird
I am alone
I have no friends

I am afraid of friends
I can't talk to friends
So I have no friends

I'm afraid to talk
I'm afraid of crowds
I'm afraid that I'll make a fool of myself
That people will think I'm weird
Or that people will look at me
Look at me with hatred in their eyes

I don't talk to people
I stay away from people
I stay with my family
And only with my family

I stay at my nest
Where it's safe
Where I'm not afraid
Where I can be me

Friends,
I don't like them
