That one friend I trust so much,
The one I thought so true and such,
But now I cry at how they’ve hurt me,
How I was so foolish to never see,
They never cared about me,
I was another one who’d listen and give them what they wanted,
Attention, I say with tears rolling down my face feeling like they flaunted their problems and never listened.
How did I not notice the red flags,
How I was nothing more then someone who’d ask,
And ask about everything they said.
How did I not notice they made me hate myself,
Why did I care so much to never say earlier,
That they were killing me inside and I felt like they only cared about themselves,
Now what do I say, just cry in pain as everything gets blurry?
Do I accept that this is my fate to be hated,
Or do I accept the truth that they underappreciated,
My feelings matter too don’t they?
Or am I another person who smiles with all other emotions erased?
Am I important enough that no one else can treat me like a doormat and I’ll leave it alone ‘till I can’t handle it anymore,
Or do I deserve to feel proud of what I’ve achieved?
Do I let them stress me out like before,
Or do I finally calm down after feeling like I’ve been deceived,
Out of my empathy,
MY empathy.
