"Friend"

Thu, 05/22/2014 - 02:47 -- mkipp94

We spend years together

We seemd inseparable

Yet somehow there was always something inbetween

 

I know you were a child

I wasa child too

We said things we didnt mean..

Or did we?

 

The trust you never got

The respect I never recieved

The difference in our social status

The difference within our minds

Was it jealousy?

Was it hatred?

We can go on and on

We can create a scoreboad, but is it honestly a compeition?

 

I heard you the first time

You still kept banging on my mind and heart though

Now it's your turn to listen

 

You say that i am not ready

You say that i will fail

You say that i need assistance

And you say I am not good enough

 

I say that I can make it

I say that I can win

I say I am independent

And I say that I as good as anyone else

 

There are things You have that i dont have

there are thing I have that you dont have

I don't understand why that makes a difference to you,

but the fact remains, it does

Our lives are different; they will never be the same

You ask for empathy others, but never to replicate it back

 

Maybe you should take your own advice

Maybe you should walk in my shoes

Maybe then youll understand, its not as easy, as you make it to be

 

I have never wanted anything but the best for you

but you have wished the worst for me

I tried to make things right

I guess that was a mistake

I still hope for good things

But i sure want Karma to bite you

Perhaps then you will understand, you weren't such a good "friend" after all
