I was sobbing On the phone to her We hadn’t been on good terms But I needed her I needed her at this hour My new cat Was ill Deadly ill He was going to die So I called her She picked up And I spilled the story Taking him to the vet Getting a blood test done Getting the results Crying Wishing Begging So I called a friend To explain “And-” “We don’t think he’ll make it!” I sobbed My mind thinking Not this Not this again You see, My other cat died From the same thing 1 in 5000 cats are born with this 2 in 10, 000 And they both had to be mine “Too bad.” She replied, I could see her shrugging I wanted to scream! Too bad? My cat will die and It’s just too bad? I think I might cry. This is the girl who -No joke- Left me at a party With no money For a cab or train ride At ten at night After she promised me a ride After she cried in my arms Because people were ignoring her This is the girl Who is a vegetarian With high morals But she scoffs down A meat pie A seafood dish Without batting an eye This is the girl Who when I told her my dreams Scoffed at them And told me that It would never, NEVER, Happen. This is the girl Who complains about me Behind my back Complains about everyone Behind their backs But cries in my arms Because people are gossiping about her This is the girl Who knocked my front tooth Almost out With a remote With a “Uh… sorry. It was an accident” As a reply It cost me thousands Of dollars To fix She knows that my family Is scraping the bottom as is I feel like I must ask myself again, Why am I friends with this girl? If all she does is take the good things? If all she gives is a half-witted response? If all she tells me is that I am not going to make it? If all she gives to the group is two faced lies? Why should I degrade myself like this? Why are we degrading ourselves like this? Sadness, like happiness, has its own majestic beauty and must be embraced as a valid emotion, not pushed down as an abnormality. |

Amazing poem. It conveyed your emotions perfectly. There is always a bad egg in every dozen and they will never amount to ANYTHING! I hope that you are alright. |
