A while ago

A while ago I would have said, "I hate men, they are no use to me, they only cause me pain."
But now. I cant help but see them differently , Like they have a heart to care.
When I walk into school I kept my head down, But now I have them to look to.
They yell at me to sit with them at lunch as all the other girls look at me in digust. What? Cant I have friends that are boys?
When they heard I had someone, They freaked and said "If he hurts you, I'll kill him."
But I only laughed and said, "No need, He would never hurt me,"
But that was back then. Only if they knew he had only used me.
They found out, And they had beaten him to a pulp.
Now they don't leave my side after what he did.
But now I can't even look at a boy and not tear up.
