Friends?
4 October, 2005
Author: KitKatrina
Hiding and I can’t come out,
Tears won’t stop from coming,
I can’t stay here anymore,
Though I must stop the running,
I feel I’m being cornered here,
No one can see me anymore,
They’ve never seen me at all,
So what’s the running for?
I must not run away from it,
I can’t give another tear,
I’m drained emotionally,
Living in my own fear,
If I’m caught running away,
I’ll be scorned nonetheless,
If I’m caught in their trap,
I’ll be blamed for the mess,
If I was to stay here all along,
And face each waking day,
I would still be blamed,
The blame won’t go away,
If I am to say the truth,
My truth is always wrong,
If I am told to tell the lie,
It’s my fault all along,
If I lead I’m wrong to do so,
Scorned for standing tall,
For if I am to follow them,
They’ll say they’d known I’d fall,
Why do I need these people?
I can only give my heart & soul,
I’ve given them both away,
And now I am the fool,
I will not tell you anything,
Not one emotion I may feel,
You are a coward of a friend,
You are not true nor are you real…
------- Author's Notes -------
I'm tired of giving so much of myself to my "friends," and never getting a thing back. There is only so much I can take, so instead of a useless confrontation, I'll distance myself. When you see me doing this, that means you've b-e-t-r-a-y-e-d me... |

| KitKatrina (68.189.34.19) -- Wednesday, November 2 2005, 08:05 am I'm glad you liked it and feel the same way. I'm sure lots of people feel the same way we do, I'm glad it's not just me out there all alone. Thanks for the comment, they always make me feel better! |
