Jenny was alone throughout her high school days

people laughed as she walked by

and made fun of her in every way

her family could not afford good clothes

so jenny wore hand-me-downs

jenny always sat alone everyday her face wore a frown

she couldn’t make friends they didn’t understand

her dad didn’t make much

and her mom lost her job

everyday she went home and sobbed

she never was good at that social stuff

never invited anyway

her life was rough

going through life without any friends

was starting to get really tough

she was a beautiful girl living in that lonely world

because of how she lived without any money

she was ignored it left her alone in this ever hard world

things were getting harder when she spent the weekends alone

she needed a friend she needed to be known

the next week at school a new kid enrolled

this was her chance her chance to be known s

he’d become his friend and show people the real her

not to be judged by her clothes or her car

he was in her first class that day this was her chance to move his way

today is when she would live life her way

she said hello and he waved she asked about him and about his day

he wrote down something on a paper

she picked it up and it hit her

Ben was mute he could not talk

this was going to be a really hard walk

so that night she went home and looked it up

when people are mute they cannot talk

they communicate with their hands or carry a board and write with chalk

she saw Ben do different hand motions and this made her think

if she learned sign language they could communicate

she would have a friend to sit with her in the end

all night she studied the language practiced it and learned

the next day though completely tired she walked up to Ben and waved

he started to write and she stopped him she made a hand motion and Ben was in awe

she had learned sign language just for him

she was going to be his new friend

they walked together all the time

people just looked laughed and joked when they walked by

but they didn’t care they didn’t need them

they had each other

they had a friend
