Aren't friends people
who know you better that all?
Aren't friends people
who catch you when you fall?
Aren't friends people
who stand by you,
people you can trust,
people who woun't leave you,
leave you to face
this cold world on your own,
that make your heart soft
when it feels like stone?

Why did you, my friend,
when I picked you uo, kick me down?
Why did you, my friend,
turn my smile into a frown?
Why did you, my friend,
through my trust away?
Why do I let you, my friend,
make me feel this way?
Why do I my friend,
stick by you till the end,
why do I let you control me,
why do I call you my friend?

Yeah, I have asked myself the same questions plenty of times. I can really relate to this poem and I like it very much. Thank you for sharing this. I hope your friend realises how she is hurting you...she probably doesn't do it intentionally. Have you talked with her about it? Showed her this poem? Don't give up on her yet.

Love and hugs,
Lizzie

That was a great poem, unfortunatly, I can relate to this.  My friends have been hurting me a lot lately and I often ask myself why do I call them friends and why do i deal with the, hurting me. I think you should show your friends this poem and stand up for yourself and most important, share your feelings.  It was a wonderful poem! If possible, please check out my poems:

"Dearest Dad"
'Friends Forever"
"All I Need"
"Being a Teenager"

Thanks~
