To my friends

by ShadowDancer   Nov 1, 2005


My friends, you all say you love me
And yet you all cause me such pain
You neglect me
Forget me
Overlook me
And use me

I try to pretend I am happy
For if I start to complain
You say I am just craving attention
You ignore it
Or complain about my scars
Saying that I don't mean what I say

How would you feel if I told you all
I have written and rewritten notes
To you all
That I would leave for you to read
And that I spend hours thinking about how
And what would be the quickest

Two is company, three is a crowd
That I now understand very well
It is just that I am too often that third person
I try to be kind
I try to be what you all want me to be
Much more then you expect from your selves

But no matter what I do
How much I give
I am never fully accepted
A wallflower at all parties
The last person invited

There is little to do about it
So I redraft another note
And try not to mention my feelings
Hoping one day

To be accepted

    U r one of the greatest ppl ive ever met.
    You're there for me although youve never seen my face,
    And I hope I can be there for you the same way.
    And i accept you for who u r, and u could tell me anything and i wouldnt think any less of u.
    I LOVE YOU!

    The bittersweetness in the poem was sad but beautiful at the same time, and you are talking about an interesting thing, how friends are two-faced, and suddenly change. Well, I liked that. I can only hope that you get better friends soon and that they are good to you. I'm sure that you deserve it.

    Good Writing!
