A Friend In Me...

 friendships come and go like winter to spring

they either blossom in time or slowly die from within

the years go by and some just disappear

yet one still remains but here is the thing

my friend hurts me in ways that’s all fun and casual

but below the surface, the damage is all but minimal

my friend talks and talks like it’s just all the usual 

but never has an ear to listen, to me... that’s just criminal

it feels like i’m a wall, a doormat, just an outlet to use

i’ve even been made fun of and verbally abused

i'm slowly realizing something that may just prompt me to choose

that the "friend" in me, might be the very friend you’ll lose

Author's Note

a "mean girls" inspired poem.... and when i say "mean girls"... i mean my very own friends...

So true, and so hard to confront friends when they dont treat you the right way!

[N!LoC]

Yeah... Usually I just brush it off... And just ignore them for a bit that's how I deal with it

[marker_c]

Its not the best way to deal with things, usually ends in a huge rant and explosion of unfiltered emotion...which can be effective!

Ah yeash this feeling isn't foreign to me. I know exactly what you mean. These cute jokes friends pull on each other and then they laugh not really realizing that the joke isn't as funny to you but you keep it in afraid to hurt them or to seem like you lack of sense of humor. I know exactly how it feels and I think your poem wraps it up nicely. I love your rhyming scheme and your amazing rhythm. I like the last part the most because it really slaps you in the face, showing that this is what I feel after all these things and that if it continues our friendship is over. Really cool poem dude.
