Real Friends
Dear dearest friend,
You're just about the worst person I've ever met
You sit here and smile
Forcing others to smile back
You cry tears of joy at the end of movies
And you save puppies from train tracks
You've interned at some of the biggest companies in the city
And you're only what? 17?
You cook your elderly neighbors brownies
feed their goldfish
And massage their feet
You live to swim with your family
You encourage them to try to beat you in races
You plant trees in your spare time
you save schools from closing
Graduated top of our class
Perfect GPA
Full rides to any school you want
All the other kids envy you
But I hate you
"good samaritan" they say
but you are literally the worst person I have ever met
Only because it is impossible to out Awesome you.
Reply to a bud:
Hey it was great to hear from you
I always knew you hated me, boo
But I know your use of the word hate is just because i pushed you through
But if it makes you feel better
A diamond is a lump of coal that did good under pressure
When I smile at you it's because you always start the smiling wars
I cry at the end of movies that you showed because you know I love them
And you spotted the puppies on the tracks
You told me about the internship at the company
Introduced me to the manager even
You told me your brownie recipe
And showed me tips for foot massages that you found on Pintrest
Lets not forget that you taught me how to swim
We were like dolphins in the sea
You bought me the baby trees to plant
And you got me in contact with the school boards so we wouldn't have to see them leave
My GPA is because of all of our late night study sessions
All the schools that want me want you too
And all of those kids envy me
because I have you
If there is anybody who deserves to be hated here it's you
And I don't know what I'm going to do because without you I'm dust
But guess what
I'll have you with me whenever I think about
baking
or puppies
or elderly neighbors
or internships
or trees
or school
or swimming
or GPAs
or envying kids
or even diamonds
Because you just so happened to do well under pressure
So don't worry about it babe,
I hate you too
Because I'll never find a friend as Awesome as you.
