A Letter To All Friends

I ask myself today...
"Why do i have friends?"

They dont care...
They dont help...
They dont listen

All the care about...
Well, i actuly dont know...

Dear Friends,
Im not trying to be high and mighty...
Im not trying to put myself on a pedistal...
Im not " the best of friends"
But i try my hardest
Evryday
I lag sometimes...
But its because im hurting...
None of you seem to understand
To care...
I love you
I listen to you
Im here when you need me
I try my best to meet your needs
But i trip sometimes...
Im sorry
But im hurting
You are lovely, and wonderful
But
You break promises
You lie
You tear me down
Do i deserve it?
Im starting to think so...

My question is...
When will someone care about me?
When is it my turn to be loved?
Do i deserve to be listend to?
And if i do... why?
Its seems evrything is warpimg
And twisting
Im alone in the dark...
I cry for each and evryone of you...
And you dont hear me...
I'v been left behind...
In the dark
And im afraid...
No one is looking back for me...
Friend, in the past i have been angry
Bitter
Now, all i am is hurt
Im lonley
And i wish you caould see that...
I came to you with a smile... hoping you'll see through it...
But you never do...
I thought you cared...
I thought you would see...
But its odvious now that i am not important...
This note is not intended to get attention...
Not to make you feel guilty
Or sorry for me...
It is to tell you how i feel...
Im hurt...
Im lost
Im broken
Im alone...

The Try Out

She has been waiting
Trying to be confident in herself...
But there are so many others
With experience
And so many others who are a lot better than she is

So many people tell her she can do it
They know she can
But she doesnt know if she can
What if they dont want to hurt her feelings?
What if she makes a fool of herself?
She wants to contribute
She loves acting
But singing...

Thats another story
When she opens her mouth...
She hears "nails on a chalk board"
Its so hard to decide...
So much expectation...
She feels presured to do well...
She wants to do well...

So
On wedsday..
She will walk into that room
And she will screech...
And she'll see how they like it...


Pray for that poor girl lol
