Bad Friend

This was just something that I wanted to try. It expresses my feelings towards my friends

I know people must change

But why do you have to become so strange

You're not the person I once knew

Could you had at least given me a clue

I know we've grown

Why could I have known

This thing was fake

I should had left, just like a flake

Where were you when I needed you

How was I supposed to make it through

I cried a lot

Was left to rot

How could you not had noticed my tears

Did you think I had no fears

Was I just being used

Now this heart of mine feels like it's bruised

I must speak out

I have no doubts

This thing must end

All you've ever been was a bad friend

Author's Note

This poem expresses my true feelings towards my friends. I'm new at writing poems to show people how I feel. I just had to try something to get rid of these negative feelings that I feel.

Friends should not leave us in times of needs...

Very moving. Keep going. They are probably not the right person for you.

wonderful poem. i can relate to it. i've had friends that come in and out of my life and some just leave for good. it's a terrible feeling.

Yeah... I've had it happen more times than I can remember. They get older and change then without any warning, they leave. Some of my friends that I was close to moved out of the country or moved to another school. It's a horrible feeling losing a friend.

[Vria P Crow]

Emotions toward friends is a fickle thing. In a way, friends are expendable which is not something humans would like to admit. However, we must also take into account "perspective." From the friend's viewpoint, they cannot always understand the thoughts of the other by simple body language. They might very well be struggling with internal conflict that you may or may not know.

INTERPRETATION OF THE POEM

1. The narrator appears to be the strong yet gentle.

2. "I know people must change
But why do you have to become so strange"

Sometimes it is not the "strange" aspect of friendship that is the problem. Change happens when the person is experiencing growth whether it be positive or negative.

QUESTIONS

1. What did the friend do to make the narrator angry?

CONCLUSION

Overall, I felt that the poem was sincere which gains my upmost respect. :D

Do not fret. We all experience those "bad eggs." :P

Nice work!
